ProjectScaling-Up Climate Action in the Livestock Sector to Enhance Nationally Determined Contributions - FMM/GLO/175/MUL 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change and climate action is critical within the livestock sector as it is not only heavily affected by climate change, but also a notable contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly methane. Addressing methane emissions from livestock presents a dual opportunity: enhancing resilience to climate impacts while mitigating emissions to achieve goals set out in the Paris Agreement. This subprogramme was designed to address national climate actions and integrate specific and actionable mitigation and adaptation measures related to the livestock sector into Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). It worked with member governments and national stakeholders in eight countries (Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal, the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe) to mainstream climate change into national policies and livestock sector development programmes and integrate cost-beneficial mitigation options in national action plans, strategies through multi-stakeholder collaboration. -
