Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture
2023Also available in:
No results found.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. -
BookletCOP28 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
2023Also 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. -
BookletFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
