Book (series)The Role of the Agriculture Sectors in the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions 2016
Also available in:
No results found.189 countries have submitted their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) and/or their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the UNFCCC. With the Paris Agreement having entered into force in November 2016, the INDCs/ NDCs will guide country-level climate action for the coming years. They include not only targets, but also concrete strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. FAO has analyzed the INDCs/ NDCs to assess the role of agriculture and land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) and the agriculture sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, as well as forestry) in meeting national mitigation contributions and adaptation objectives, respectively. The results show that in all regions, these sectors will play a pivotal role in accomplishing the intended contributions and objectives for addressing the causes of and increasing resilience to climate change by 2030 and beyond. This INDCs analysis report provides an overview on how th e agriculture sectors have been included in the INDCs/ NDCs. It outlines mitigation contributions with a particular focus on agriculture and LULUCF, vulnerabilities under climate change and priority areas and/or activities for adaptation in the agriculture sectors. Furthermore, this report summarizes information provided in the INDCs/ NDCs on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), mitigation-adaptation co-benefits and how countries have developed their INDCs and are planning to implement their NDCs. T he aim of this analysis is to provide a basis for identifying priorities for international support for climate action in the agriculture sectors. -
Book (stand-alone)Priorities related to food value chains and the agri-food sector in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents a global assessment on how food value chains and the agri-food sector have been considered in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Building on FAO’s global study of the agriculture sectors in the NDCs, the analysis provides an overview of where value chain interventions and references have been included and outlines their specific context. In particular, it takes a closer look at the socio-economic activities that link the agri-food sector with livelihoods, in the context of national climate change mitigation and adaptation priorities. The analysis highlights that countries through their NDCs have emphasized the importance of improving value chain infrastructures and strengthening the agri-food sector as part of their national priorities for climate action. The prominence of food value chain priorities is particularly evident in the contributions from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, reflecting the socio-economic and environmental characteristics of these regions. By outlining the priority areas for the agri-food sector in the NDCs, this paper provides a guidance on the key interventions where future investment and international support is needed to enable climate-resilient and low-emission food value chains. -
Poster, bannerIntended Nationally Determined Contributions: global analysis key findings 2017
Also available in:
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions: global analysis key findings poster has a summary on the international communities commitments to the Paris Agreement through the submission of their INDCs. Countries will lead in taking transformative climate action in the agriculture sectors over the next 5 years. FAO completed an analysis on these climate actions addressed in their INDC commitments. The poster displays findings on synergies, co-benefits, planning and implementation and priority ar eas for internatinal support. The poster has a map from each region's, commitment to adaption, mitigation and food security and nutrition in their INDCs.
