Synopsis (short abstract) The COP28 Food Systems and Agriculture Agenda calls for accelerated food systems, agriculture and climate action and urges governments to align and integrate those actions within national strategies, including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) amongst others. It is built upon four pillars, covering national leadership, non-state actors, scaling up innovation, and finance as critical enablers to climate-resilient food system transformation. The United Arab Emirates Presidency convened a group of key partners supporting NDC and NAP planning and implementation across a wide range of countries and food and agriculture systems to consolidate existing experiences, learnings and resources for a global audience to accelerate ambitious climate action in food and agriculture systems at large. This task force, including WWF, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, Climate Focus, NDC Partnership, FAO, Alliance of Biodiversity International and CIAT, synthesised all guidance material available and lessons learned on NDC and NAP implementation for food system transformation. The “COP 28 Agriculture, Food and Climate Action Toolkit” developed serves as a key resource for national policymakers and decision-makers aiming to accelerate and align national efforts on climate action and food and agriculture system transformation by (1) providing a summary of priority actions, (2) giving an overview of good examples of NDCs and NAPs in how they integrate agriculture and food system measures, and (3) providing overview of existing initiatives, platforms, and tools that can help governments in developing and implementing agriculture and food system policy measures as part of their NDCs and NAPs.

Advancing climate action on agriculture and food security
Progress on agriculture-related climate change negotiations and the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work (SJWA) from COP27 onwards, Technical note
2024

Also available in:

No results found.

Climate Change (UNFCCC), Parties adopted Decision 3/CP.27 establishing the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work on the Implementation of Climate Action on Agriculture and Food Security (SJWA). The new Joint Work builds on the outcomes and recommendations of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) process, representing a critical step towards its implementation, that of previous activities addressing issues related to agriculture under the UNFCCC, as well as future topics, recognising that solutions are context-specific and take into account national circumstances.The purpose of this technical note is to provide an update on the UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture and food security since the adoption of the SJWA at COP27 in 2022. The note outlines the various agreed elements of the SJWA, the submission of views by Parties and observers to the UNFCCC in 2023, and the key elements of the new SJWA road map agreed at SB60 in 2024. It also provides an initial mapping of the implementation of the Koronivia outcomes, as well as decisions and initiatives related to agrifood systems at recent COPs. The note also presents the main results of support before COP28 in December 2023 and to the Sixtieth meeting of the UNFCCC’s Subsidiary Bodies (SB60) in June 2024, and provides key recommendations on the way forward for the successful implementation of the SJWA road map and targets in the run-up to COP31.

This comprehensive report provides an overview of the objectives, speakers, and outcomes of each session of the second edition of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum (SIF) 2023. The SIF, a pivotal component of the annual flagship World Food Forum, unfolded from 18 to 20 October 2023 at FAO headquarters.Centered around the theme of leveraging science and innovation for the transformative enhancement of agrifood systems in the context of climate action, the Forum fostered discussions aimed at identifying concrete actions. It served as a platform for strategic deliberations on the nuanced ways in which science, technology, and innovation contribute to vulnerability, impact, and capacities, crucial for reshaping agrifood systems and bolstering climate action.Noteworthy attendance marked the event, with a total of 8 967 registrants, comprising 4 000 in-person participants and 7 153 virtual attendees representing diverse global backgrounds. The Forum featured the insights and perspectives of nearly 150 speakers drawn from academia, research, business, government, non-governmental organizations, farmers' organizations, young entrepreneurs, and Indigenous Peoples. These experts actively contributed to the discourse through engaging roundtables and panel discussions.

Toolkit for value chain analysis and market development integrating climate resilience and gender responsiveness
Integrating agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP-Ag) Programme
2019

Also available in:

No results found.

This toolkit aims to help countries in selecting and analysing value chains for opportunities to improve climate change resilience and reduce gender inequalities. It intends to provide policy makers, planners, project developers, technical advisors and implementers at local, regional or national level with good practices of climate-resilient and gender-responsive value chain development. It aims to act as a repository of relevant tools and methodologies for identifying relevant stakeholders and engaging with them to collect data and analyse it to design interventions. Climate change threatens agricultural value chains, and having a gender-responsive value chain approach is useful in analysing the climate risks, as it looks at stages during and beyond production, while using a more systemic approach to risk management.
