Synopsis (short abstract) The “Open House” event was professionally facilitated and structured in an interactive and inclusive way, enabling a dialogue between Latin American and Italian institutions to exchange information and knowledge and find common areas of collaboration, in order to develop project ideas to support FAO in fighting hunger by overcoming the new challenges caused by climate change. Moreover, this event provided an opportunity to explore the approach of FAO’s Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) programme, as well as the experiences and the possibilities it offers in this context. The event consisted of a one-day meeting and a field trip at the campus of the University of Tuscia, in Viterbo, on the second day. The workshop was attended by 51 participants, including representatives from four Italian universities (Roma La Sapienza, Roma Tre, La Tuscia of Viterbo and the University of Florence), six Latin American Institutes (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and El Salvador), Italian governmental sectors and research institutions (CNR, CREA and ENEA) and FAO’s technical departments, including the Forestry Department and the Climate, Biodiversity, Land and Water Department. Opening remarks for the workshop were provided by Ms. Maria Florencia Paoloni (Scientific Secretary, IILA), Mr René Castro-Salazar (Assistant Director- General, Climate, Biodiversity, Land and Water Department) and Mr. Davide Bradanini (First Secretary, Permanent Representation of the Republic of Italy to FAO).

The twenty-second session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22), the twelfth session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 12), and the first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA 1), were held in Bab Ighli, Marrakech, Morocco, from 7-18 November 2016. The Conference showed how the world is making progress for the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and how the constructive spirit of multilateral cooperation on climate change continues. Governments have set until 2018 to complete the Paris Agreement application standards, in order to ensure trust, cooperation and success in the upcoming years and decades. The agreement adopted at COP21 came into force on November 4, 2016, and, this way, countries have ratified their commitment to struggle to keep the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees centigrade and to achieve an economy free from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions until the second half of this century. Within this context of challenges and considering the principles, provisions and structures of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the countries have filed documents on their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC). This analysis and systematization study examines the INDC documents from 32 Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) States.
