Synopsis (short abstract) The briefing note summarizes the key messages of the FAO regional workshop ”Making the UNFCCC work for Agriculture in Asia and the Pacific” held on 19-20 November 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand. Under the guidance of experts from FAO, UNFCCC, UNDP, CGIAR technical centers, national and regional research institutions, representatives from the Ministries of Agriculture, Environment and other relevant sectors in 15 countries in Asia and the Pacific engaged in a series of instructional and interactive s essions designed to identify ways to better leverage the UNFCCC framework to deliver climate-resilient, low emissions development in the agriculture sectors comprising crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture. Generally, improved understanding of ongoing UNFCCC processes and engagement by agriculture sector stakeholders in these processes will be necessary so that adequate measures are taken to strengthen the resilience of agriculture and agriculture dependent communities to climate change and ensure regional food security while also avoiding dangerous levels of global warming.

    FAO’s work on Climate Change. Fisheries, Aquaculture and Climate Change: The role of fisheries and aquaculture in the implementation of the Paris agreement 2016
    Also available in:
    Billions of people around the world depend on fisheries and aquaculture for food, essential nutrients and livelihoods. The sector is already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and harmful practices; climate variability, climate change and ocean acidification represent additional threats to the sector and dependent communities. FAO and its partners are working together to reduce vulnerabilities of those most dependent on fisheries and aquaculture for their existence by designing and implementing suitable adaptation and mitigation measures. FAO and its partners are working at finding solutions to meet an ever-growing demand for fish in an era of limited natural resources, build resilience and unlock the Blue Growth potential of the aquatic systems.
