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. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetClimate change and food security and nutrition Latin America and the Caribbean (policy guidelines) 2016
Also available in:
Latin America and the Caribbean have shown significant progress in matters of food security and nutrition, which led them to meet the goal undertaken in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Well, these progresses are threatened, among other factors, by climate change and the effects it can have over areas as diverse as food production, income generation, the availability of natural resources or the domestic food supply. The work herein presented by the FAO Regional Office for Latin America a nd the Caribbean shows how climate change affects each of the four dimensions of Food Security and Nutrition: the availability, access, utilization and stability of food. This publication is the first in a series that will approach these matters, in order to produce information to further develop synergies among different policy areas relevant to our region. At the same time, it is an additional element in the cooperation FAO has been carrying out to sustain and support the implementation of F ood Security and Nutrition strategies, within the context of climate change, as a key background to consolidate sustainable development in the region.
