ProjectEnhancing Capacities and Sharing Knowledge of Developing Countries on Agricultural Solutions to Address Climate Change - GCP/GLO/992/JPN 2023
Also available in:
No results found.IPCC Sixth Assessment Reports (AR6) emphasizes that minimizing trade-offs with respect to climate actions in AFOLU sector requires integrated approaches to meet multiple objectives including food security, and provides win-win options that can contribute to both enhanced productivity and climate benefits. Recognizing the valuable contributions of the agriculture sector to achieving emission reductions in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), many countries in Asia and Pacific included one or more actions in the agriculture sector in their latest NDCs. The Global Methane Pledge, launched at 26th Conference of the Parties (2021) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and joined by 150 countries, including countries in the Asian region, represents a global momentum for further collective actions for methane emissions reductions, including those from agriculture. The present project responded to the need to improve sustainable development and food security through enhanced country capacity to implement adaptation and mitigation actions across agricultural sectors. -
ProjectEnhancing Countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions for Emissions Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation - MTF/GLO/168/WRI 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, all parties are required to define and communicate their “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs), the efforts that they plan to undertake to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. To ensure they are sufficiently ambitious, the targets and commitments set out by countries in 2015 need updating every five years. This project represented FAO’s response to specific countries’ requests for support to conduct the first revision of NDCs in 2020. The overarching objective was to improve countries’ strategies and tools to reduce their emissions and improve adaptation in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector, addressing existing gaps in AFOLU components and resulting in more ambitious commitments and strategies. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEnhancing countries’ capacity to report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on greenhouse gas emissions for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector: Ecuador 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Ecuador has submitted two national communications (NCs 2000, 2012) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), providing information on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and measures to mitigate and to facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change among other information. In 2016, Ecuador also presented its First Biennial Update Report (BUR), which included the REDD+ technical annex to the BUR. In 2010, GHG emissions from the Agriculture and the Land Use, Land Use C hange and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors contributed to respectively 18 % and 30% of the national GHG emissions. Since 2013, the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) and the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programmes have provide support to Ecuador for the preparation and reporting of the national GHG inventory (NGHGI), agriculture and LULUCF components, to the UNFCCC. This brief hi ghlights the implemented activities and fruitful collaboration that were fundamental in assisting Ecuador in successfully meeting its commitments to the UNFCCC reporting process for the Agriculture and LULUCF sectors.
