Synopsis (short abstract) The impacts of climate change are being felt around the world, and there has been a growing momentum of awareness, advocacy, and action by young people across the world to address climate change, particularly in the agriculture and land use sectors. Transparency processes have evolved to not only spotlight national efforts in response to climate change, but also to drive further international action and support, allowing countries to learn from each others and identify opportunities for continuous improvements and innovative solutions in their climate efforts. FAO, with the support of the Children and Youth constituency to the UNFCCC (YOUNGO), put together this pocket guide, which aims to demystify the concept and technical language around transparency in the context of climate change for young people and beginners. It helps youth to learn about ways to contribute to the ambition cycle of the Paris Agreement with their knowledge, skills and collective power, and to identify opportunities for embarking on a rewarding career path that delivers innovative solutions for the climate crisis.

    Developing countries continue to face skills gaps when implementing their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and fulfilling their reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement. Provided with adequate support, universities and scientific institutions could play a key role in narrowing these gaps. This webinar focused on how academia can help strengthen and retain domestic capacities in developing countries; and train the next generation of climate practitioners. It also showed how youth can play a more active role in climate related processes.

    FAO’s work on Climate Change. Fisheries, Aquaculture and Climate Change: The role of fisheries and aquaculture in the implementation of the Paris agreement 2016
    Also available in:
    Billions of people around the world depend on fisheries and aquaculture for food, essential nutrients and livelihoods. The sector is already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and harmful practices; climate variability, climate change and ocean acidification represent additional threats to the sector and dependent communities. FAO and its partners are working together to reduce vulnerabilities of those most dependent on fisheries and aquaculture for their existence by designing and implementing suitable adaptation and mitigation measures. FAO and its partners are working at finding solutions to meet an ever-growing demand for fish in an era of limited natural resources, build resilience and unlock the Blue Growth potential of the aquatic systems.

    Strengthening Bangladesh's Institutional and Human Capacities to Meet the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement - GCP/BGD/627/CBT 2025

    Article 13 of the Paris Agreement provides for the establishment of an Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) for action and support, with built-in flexibility to account for parties’ differing capacities and to build upon collective experience. Developing countries, who often have limited resources, require additional support in establishing the necessary institutional arrangements and technical capacities to transparently track and report mitigation and adaptation measures. Given the systemic weaknesses in Bangladesh's monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems, the primary objective of the project was to strengthen the country’s institutional and human capacities to meet the ETF of the Paris Agreement and to track progress against priority mitigation and adaptation actions outlined in its nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Key beneficiaries included the Department of Environment (DoE) under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), alongside a wide array of data providers for greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting, including government agencies, the private sector and civil society.
