    Science, Technology and Innovation for Climate Action
    Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture

    Extreme weather events and shifting weather patterns are just some of the consequences of climate change. Agriculture, deeply reliant on climate stability, is facing far-reaching and grave challenges. Agrifood systems have the unique potential to tackle climate change and its impacts. The Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture (Joint FAO/IAEA Centre) guides actions to transform agrifood systems towards greener and climate resilient practices through the application of nuclear techniques and biotechnologies. These can be effective solutions to build resilience and mitigate emissions in the agrifood sector. By supporting and coordinating R&D activities, aimed at building, transferring technologies, and providing policy advice to Member Countries, the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre aims to optimise and strengthen the capacities of Member Countries in using nuclear techniques and biotechnologies , helping to improve agricultural resilience, and facilitating adaptation to the challenges posed by climate change.

    FAO Action Plan 2022–2025 for the implementation of the FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2023
    The elements of the Action Plan are derived from the Theory of Change anchored in the Strategy. The Action Plan is therefore articulated around the three pillars and six outcomes of the Strategy. In addition, and with the aim to provide more clarity, action areas have been introduced to cluster the outputs, which are concrete results contributing to each outcome of the Strategy. The outputs are formulated based on the FAO actions listed in section IV “Three pillars for enhanced action” of the Strategy. In the following matrix of outcomes and outputs, each output is cross-referenced with the relevant PPAs and SDG targets it contributes to achieve, in line with the FAO Strategic Framework. Similarly, each action area is being monitored by an indicator from the updated results framework 2022–2025. These indicators have been selected according to their linkage to the action area to best illustrate the contribution of the Action Plan to the implementation of the Strategic Framework. Based on the nature of the action area (technical vs functional), these indicators are either key performance indicators (KPIs) or output indicators from the PPAs.

    COP28 Agriculture, Food and Climate National Action Toolkit
    Taking stock of good practices, initiatives, and tools for food system transformation through Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans
    2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    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.
