The Food Security and Nutrition Network resource library features practical implementation-focused guides, tools, and training materials in a number of relevant program areas. You can browse the library by topic or view the newest, highest rated, most downloaded or FSN Network recommended materials. If you know what you are looking for you can also search by author or title.
We welcome submissions of new resources from the community. Please remember we are looking for high-quality, published materials, that offer guidance for improved food security and nutrition implementation.
This guide reviews some fundamental concepts that provide a foundation for working with a climate change perspective. It also introduces three strategies for dealing with climate change: adaptation to its effects, mitigation to slow the process of climate change, and adoption of climate-smart agriculture. The guide also provides concrete ways to help the rural poor adapt to climate change. The action steps provide a structured and practical approach to developing better projects that include a climate change perspective—from analyzing the situation to proactively engaging with communities.
This tool is an introductory resource for staff of development and humanitarian organizations working with people whose lives and rights are threatened by disasters and climate change. It is aimed at program management, advisory and technical staff of development and humanitarian organizations, and seeks to strengthen staff understanding of the basic approaches and principles that can be applied to disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation initiatives. It also provides practical guidance on how to integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into the program cycle, different sectors and a range of contexts. This guide includes examples from practitioners’ experiences that illustrate good practice and learning, and suggests tools and resources that practitioners find useful.
The guide is a product of the Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project agencies, which include CARE International, Catholic Relief Services, Mercy Corps, Oxfam, Save the Children and World Vision International.
This 6-page brief provides an introduction on the importance of gender considersations in climate change, illustrative examples involving men and women, and recommendations on incorporating gender-transformative adaptive strategies. Short cases studies from Tajikistan, Ghana, and Bangladesh are provided.
This report outlines climate change and agricultural issues that are diminishing food security. It discusses the critical juncture we're in to do international agricultural research and provides a framework for action, including policy and communications challenges and strategies for change.

This volume demonstrates the possibility of harmonizing agricultural production with the wellbeing of the biosphere – and that this can be achieved in Africa, our biosphere’s least developed continent, and the continent which is likely to suffer most from climate change.
This Resource Guide on Gender and Climate Change presents principal conceptual and methodological advances on gender relations in the context of climate change, with the overall objective of providing guidelines for actors, practitioners and consumers in this relatively new programme area. It has been prepared through research, analyses and combinations of international frameworks, conceptual and methodological documents, and the compilation of case studies. The Guide also considers the approaches that consultants take to deal with the topic, as well as views held by organizations and experts in this field.
This training manual is a practical tool to increase the capacity of policy and decision makers to develop gender-responsive climate change policies and strategies. At this crucial moment, on the way to negotiating the new international climate change strategy, this publication provides all actors with the essential knowledge and concrete guidance on how their actions on climate change can better answer the needs of women and men in developing countries.
Climate change will make it increasingly difficult to achieve and sustain development goals. This is largely because climate effects on poverty remain poorly understood, and poverty reduction strategies do not adequately support climate resilience.This policy brief addresses the actions to ensure effective development in the face of climate change.

There has been a recent emphasis in developing more dedicated tools which have an explicit focus on screening for climate change risks and for facilitating adaptation. The purpose of this paper is to analyse this latter set of tools targeted to screen climate change risks. The paper focuses on the need to consider the experiences of users as well as developers, and to investigate the extent to which tools are meeting user needs and if opportunities may exist for streamlining the tools landscape.
