Synopsis (short abstract) This report aims to guide FAO – and other international actors – committed to providing developing countries with the support required for implementing their NDCs and ensuring future commitments are transparent, quantifiable, comparable, verifiable and ambitious. The agriculture sectors in Eastern Africa represent a pivotal opportunity for simultaneously leveraging the mitigation potential of the region, while enhancing adaptive capacity and food security outcomes through a transition to more su stainable agriculture and land use. However, change will only come about if supported by appropriate policies, institutional arrangements, capacity development and finance mechanisms. By highlighting the gaps in the coverage of mitigation and adaptation actions in the agriculture sector, as well as illustrating opportunities for enhancing climate ambitions in the next round of NDCs, this analysis can serve as an important roadmap for directing future investment and international support toward l ow-emission, climate-resilient and inclusive agriculture systems in the region.

    FAO is proposing a series of regional-level analyses of the NDCs to identify the current commitments, gaps and opportunities in the agriculture sectors for enhancing mitigation and adaptation ambitions in the next round of NDCs. In the analysis, the agricultural sectors refer to crops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries and aquaculture as defined by FAO. This report aims to guide FAO – and other international actors – committed to providing developing countries with the support required for impl ementing their NDCs and ensuring future commitments are transparent, quantifiable, comparable, verifiable and ambitious.

    189 countries have submitted their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) and/or their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the UNFCCC. With the Paris Agreement having entered into force in November 2016, the INDCs/ NDCs will guide country-level climate action for the coming years. They include not only targets, but also concrete strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. FAO has analyzed the INDCs/ NDCs to assess the role of agriculture and land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) and the agriculture sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, as well as forestry) in meeting national mitigation contributions and adaptation objectives, respectively. The results show that in all regions, these sectors will play a pivotal role in accomplishing the intended contributions and objectives for addressing the causes of and increasing resilience to climate change by 2030 and beyond. This INDCs analysis report provides an overview on how th e agriculture sectors have been included in the INDCs/ NDCs. It outlines mitigation contributions with a particular focus on agriculture and LULUCF, vulnerabilities under climate change and priority areas and/or activities for adaptation in the agriculture sectors. Furthermore, this report summarizes information provided in the INDCs/ NDCs on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), mitigation-adaptation co-benefits and how countries have developed their INDCs and are planning to implement their NDCs. T he aim of this analysis is to provide a basis for identifying priorities for international support for climate action in the agriculture sectors.

    Intended Nationally Determined Contributions: global analysis key findings 2017
    Also available in:
    Intended Nationally Determined Contributions: global analysis key findings poster has a summary on the international communities commitments to the Paris Agreement through the submission of their INDCs. Countries will lead in taking transformative climate action in the agriculture sectors over the next 5 years. FAO completed an analysis on these climate actions addressed in their INDC commitments. The poster displays findings on synergies, co-benefits, planning and implementation and priority ar eas for internatinal support. The poster has a map from each region's, commitment to adaption, mitigation and food security and nutrition in their INDCs.
