This guidance document presents that production of bioenergy in Integrated Food-Energy Systems (IFES) is one of such good practices since these systems meet both food and energy demands. This document also includes an analytical framework which serves to screen different IFES options systematically and helps to define which IFES systems are sustainable and replicable. 

This guidance document elaborates the institutional context for managing climate risks and adaptation and reiterates the need to strengthen the collection and analysis of data and information.
