Synopsis (short abstract) The Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC) subprogramme FVC/GLO/195/MUL ”Scaling-up livestock climate actions to enhance nationally determined contributions - Phase II” aims to support six countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Lao PDR, Senegal, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) in raising the ambition of their national climate actions by integrating livestock-specific mitigation and adaptation interventions into their nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It contributes towards improved climate resilience, food security, and livelihoods aligned to achieve the Paris Agreement through enhanced mitigation and adaptation programmes in the livestock sector. This FVC subprogramme is the second phase of the previous project FMM/GLO/175/MUL, implemented in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

    Agrifood systems in nationally determined contributions
    Global analysis
    2025
    Also available in:

    The purpose of this analysis is to present an overview of the status of agrifood systems in NDCs, as well as provide insights into the extent to which NDCs are contributing to the climate-resilient and low-emissions agrifood system transformations needed to achieve the Paris Agreement. It provides an overview of the major climate-related risks and greenhouse gas hot spots in agrifood systems, and it synthesizes the main climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies being set forth in the nationally determined contributions to address them. It also takes stock of the underpinning governance, knowledge and capacity and finance needs articulated to enable climate action in agrifood systems. Lastly, it highlights mitigation, adaptation and climate finance ambition gaps in agrifood systems to inform enhanced ambition, action and support.

    This is the first document in a series of case studies by member countries of the Thematic Working Group on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use (TWG), under the NDC-Partnership. The aim is to present what countries are doing to tackle climate change and implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This case study shares the experience of how Zimbabwe developed a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) manual aimed for university and professional level agricultural education, which directly contributes to the achievement of their NDC.
