    The Red Palm Weevil (RPW, or Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is a major transboundary pest that originated in South Asia and is rapidly spreading around the world. FAO, with key international and national stakeholders, is promoting a national and regional programme for RPW management in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. The programme facilitates the coordination of regional efforts to ensure an integrated and sustainable approach to controlling the RPW and reducing its devastating effects on date-palm production, the food and income security of rural communities, and the ecology of affected areas.

    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.
