    The purpose of this analysis is to present an overview of the status of agrifood systems in NDCs, as well as provide insights into the extent to which NDCs are contributing to the climate-resilient and low-emissions agrifood system transformations needed to achieve the Paris Agreement. It provides an overview of the major climate-related risks and greenhouse gas hot spots in agrifood systems, and it synthesizes the main climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies being set forth in the nationally determined contributions to address them. It also takes stock of the underpinning governance, knowledge and capacity and finance needs articulated to enable climate action in agrifood systems. Lastly, it highlights mitigation, adaptation and climate finance ambition gaps in agrifood systems to inform enhanced ambition, action and support.

    FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
    2023
    Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance.

    Pathways to climate-resilient net zero supply chains
    A guide for global agrifood businesses

    This guide presents a framework designed to help agrifood companies make their supply chains more resilient to climate risks while reducing emissions, in alignment with the nationally determined contributions and national adaptation plans of the countries where they source, produce, buy, and sell products. At its core, this framework helps businesses move beyond high-level climate commitments and translate net zero and resilience goals into concrete actions that align with national priorities. The framework comprises four key steps: 1. Build management commitment for climate action in supply chains; 2. Implement climate adaptation strategies in supply chains; 3. Reduce supply chain greenhouse gas emissions through targeted mitigation actions; and 4. Track, evaluate, and disclose progress to ensure continuous improvement.
