FAO launches new Arabic e-learning course on Climate Change Adaptation in the livestock sector

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through its Virtual Learning Centers (VLCs), has launched a new open-access Arabic-language course titled “Climate Change Adaptation in the Livestock Sector.”

As part of its broader climate change agenda, FAO works to support countries in building more sustainable, resilient, and low-emission agrifood systems. Through targeted interventions, policy support, and knowledge-sharing, FAO helps integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation into agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. FAO emphasizes innovative solutions, inclusive approaches, and partnerships to address the urgent challenges of climate change while safeguarding livelihoods and ensuring food security.

This self-paced online course is designed to strengthen knowledge and build the capacities of stakeholders, practitioners, and students on the impacts of climate change on livestock production and how the sector can adapt to these challenges.

Through four interactive modules, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

• Climate risks and global climate trends, and their potential impacts on livestock supply chains.
• Strategies to facilitate livestock adaptation.
• Tools and approaches to support climate change adaptation in the sector.
• Monitoring and evaluation practices for livestock adaptation initiatives.

The course also includes real-world case studies that highlight successful experiences in mitigating the impacts of climate change. Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, it provides practical tools and knowledge to support climate-resilient livestock systems.

The total study time is approximately three and a half hours, and learners can complete the modules at their own pace. A final assessment will allow participants to test their knowledge and earn certification.

This initiative was made possible with the financial support of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).

Registration is now open to participants worldwide. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge on tackling climate change challenges in the livestock sector.
