The WFP Centre of Excellence for Rural Transformation (WFP China COE) organizes a comprehensive webinar series on Agricultural Disaster Management from June 25 to July 16, 2026. The webinar consists of four sessions in total, providing a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange among developing countries to explore practical tools, operational models, and proven technologies for effective agricultural disaster management and safeguarding food security. The four sessions are as follows:

 

Session I: Multi-stakeholder Coordination to Protect Agricultural Livelihoods

Session II: Early Warning and Impact-Based Forecasting for Disaster-Ready Agriculture

Session III: Farmer‑Centric Innovations for Agricultural Disaster Risk Reduction

Session IV: Technological Solutions for Addressing Waterlogging and Safeguarding Water Access

 

This course is part of Session I: Multi-stakeholder Coordination to Protect Agricultural Livelihoods. The session aims to address the escalating threats of climate change on global food systems by sharing proactive strategies for anticipatory action and comprehensive agricultural disaster mitigation. It is structured around two main parts: WFP’s Efforts in Agricultural Disaster Management for Food Security, and Agricultural Disaster Mitigation and Climate-Resilient Agriculture Development in the Context of Climate Change. The first part highlights the Anticipatory Action (AA) framework, detailing how pre-agreed triggers, pre-arranged financing, and early warning systems bridge the gap between disaster risk reduction and emergency response to safeguard vulnerable livelihoods before crises fully unfold. The second part reviews the profound impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural biota, offering technical solutions for climate adaptation alongside insights into China's multi-agency coordination mechanisms for emergency agricultural relief.

* Participants who successfully complete the course and pass a corresponding quiz will receive a certificate of achievement.
