Synopsis (short abstract) As food systems are uniquely connected to many social and environmental challenges, their transformation can create synergies that combat several global crises at once. Organized by FAO in collaboration with the Governments of Senegal, Quebec and the State of Bahia (Brazil), IAAS and YPARD, this event will highlight actions from vulnerable groups such as women, youth, indigenous people, and small-scale farmers. Through concrete experiences, this panel discussion will showcase how encompassing the three pillars of inclusivity, resilience, and low carbon can help us successfully reach our climate targets while ensuring the food security and livelihoods of all.

    Promoting community-based approaches is crucial to finding concrete, adapted and sustainable solutions to climate change in the agriculture sector because it enables integrating scientific insights into local knowledge systems, and empowering local actors to take the lead role in improving their production systems. Organized by FAO in collaboration with the Government of Senegal, the Government of Quebec, the Ministry of Ecological Transition of Italy, the Government of Zambia and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany, this event aims at highlighting the potential of community-based, bottom-up strategies in agriculture to implement and scale up climate change commitments. In particular, the event will showcase three approaches that leverage this potential: Farmer Field Schools (FFS), indigenous Chakra systems and Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA).

    This document provides definitions and guidance for the global soil carbon mapping activity which the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) and Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) committed to un-dertake in the framework of its cooperation with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertifi-cation (UNCCD) and its Science Policy Interface (SPI). The GSP partners are engaging in a global soil carbon (GSC) mapping activity, which is primarily based on existing soil carbon maps and measurem ents. A GSC map will be produced based on existing na-tional soil carbon data. This activity is closely linked to the development of the Global Soil Information System under GSP Pillar 4 on Soil Data and Information. Due to the urgency for action and the envisaged cooperation across United Nations (UN) conventions as a contribution to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), this activity is pursued with high priority. This document provides background and detailed specifications about the requ ired data sources and methodologies.
