Synopsis (short abstract) This case study presents a novel approach on how academia can better contribute to the short- and long-term transparency-related efforts for the successful implementation of the Paris Agreement in Zimbabwe, which could be replicated in other countries as well. Building on the existing capacities of the academic community in contributing to the UNFCCC processes in Zimbabwe, this case study describes a country-led process that would sustainably involve academia in the work related to the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), with a focus on the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. The collaboration aimed to understand the current status of academia’s contributions to the UNFCCC related work, map the existing gaps and barriers for the country, and identify pathways for effective action by academia and youth in improving transparency-related arrangements in Zimbabwe.

    Developing countries continue to face skills gaps when implementing their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and fulfilling their reporting requirements under the Paris Agreement. Provided with adequate support, universities and scientific institutions could play a key role in narrowing these gaps. This webinar focused on how academia can help strengthen and retain domestic capacities in developing countries; and train the next generation of climate practitioners. It also showed how youth can play a more active role in climate related processes.

    A two-day virtual regional consultation titled “Engaging with Academia and Research Institutions (ARIs) to Support Family Farmers and Food System Transformation During and Post COVID-19 Pandemic in Asia” was held by the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and the Asian Farmers’ Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA) from 8–9 December 2021. The consultation was organized in collaboration with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), International Cooperation Centre of Agricultural Research for Development (CIRAD), Group For Research and Technology Exchanges (GRET), and with technical assistance from FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP). It was attended by 157 international participants and 51 speakers coming from different academic and research institutions (ARIs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs), government agencies, and development partners. The regional consultation highlighted the importance of collaboration among ARIs, family farmers’ organizations, government agencies, and development partners in Asia in enhancing the livelihoods of family farmers and developing their capacities to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic through agroecology. This publication compiles the proceedings of the two-day virtual regional consultation and marks an important milestone in initiating a stocktaking of existing initiatives and collaborations between ARIs, inter-government agencies and family farmers’ organizations in the region with a specific focus on agroecology and sustainable food systems.
