4. Target the most vulnerable populations and sectors
Develop specific programmes and policies to assist populations and sectors that are most vulnerable to climate changes and food insecurity.

=> Develop funds that respond to climate shocks, such as 'index-linked funds ' that provide rapid relief when extreme weather events affect communities, through public-private partnerships based on agreed principles.

=> Moderate excessive food price fluctuations by sharing country information on production forecasts and stocks, strengthening market databases, promoting open and responsive trade systems, establishing early warning systems and allowing tax-free export and import for humanitarian assistance. This includes embedding safeguards related to import surges and trade distortions in trade agreements.

=> Create and support safety nets and other programmes to help vulnerable populations in all countries become food secure (for example, cash and in-kind transfers, employment guarantee schemes, programmes to build resilience, health and nutrition, delivery of education and seeds of quick growing foods in times of famine).

=> Establish robust emergency food reserves and financing capacity that can deliver rapid humanitarian responses to vulnerable populations threatened by food crises.

=> Create and support platforms for harmonizing and coordinating global donor programmes, policies and activities, paying particular attention to systematically integrating climate change risk management, adaptation and mitigation co-benefits, and improved local nutritional outcomes.
