Synopsis (short abstract) Climate Change (UNFCCC), Parties adopted Decision 3/CP.27 establishing the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work on the Implementation of Climate Action on Agriculture and Food Security (SJWA). The new Joint Work builds on the outcomes and recommendations of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) process, representing a critical step towards its implementation, that of previous activities addressing issues related to agriculture under the UNFCCC, as well as future topics, recognising that solutions are context-specific and take into account national circumstances.The purpose of this technical note is to provide an update on the UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture and food security since the adoption of the SJWA at COP27 in 2022. The note outlines the various agreed elements of the SJWA, the submission of views by Parties and observers to the UNFCCC in 2023, and the key elements of the new SJWA road map agreed at SB60 in 2024. It also provides an initial mapping of the implementation of the Koronivia outcomes, as well as decisions and initiatives related to agrifood systems at recent COPs. The note also presents the main results of support before COP28 in December 2023 and to the Sixtieth meeting of the UNFCCC’s Subsidiary Bodies (SB60) in June 2024, and provides key recommendations on the way forward for the successful implementation of the SJWA road map and targets in the run-up to COP31.

Land use and land-use change (including related policies) interact with climate and climate change (including related policies) in multiple ways. Land-use sectors are among the most affected by climate change. They are also a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, agriculture, forestry and other land use are the second source of GHG emissions after fossil fuel use and account globally for about 23 percent of total net anthropogenic GHG emissions. However, the land use sectors are not only part of the problem, but also part of the solution. They are key to adaptation. The global potential of land-based mitigation options is evaluated at about 30 percent of the global mitigation effort required in 2050 to meet the 1.5 °C target of the Paris Agreement.This publication, resulting from a collaboration between FAO and the Center for International Forestry Research, lead centre of the CGIAR research programme on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry, aims to recall those complex interactions and to explore the opportunities to enhance the role of land use under theUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to advance climate change mitigation and adaptation.
