Book (series)The Role of the Agriculture Sectors in the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions 2016
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)Regional analysis of the nationally determined contributions in Asia
Gaps and opportunities in the agriculture and land use sectors
2020Also available in:
No results found.The regional analysis provided in this report reflects the dynamism and diversity existing within Asia. Asia is experiencing dramatic demographic changes, high population growth, urbanization and growing economic inequities. The food system in the region varies significantly between and within its many sub-regions in terms of climate, landscapes, ecosystems and farming systems. All of these factors provide the context for climate action at the national level and have shaped to some extent how agriculture is reflected in countries respective National Determined Contributions. This report provides a unique, sector-specific synthesis of the NDCs from Asia. It summarizes the substantial contributions already put forward by countries, opportunities for further action and the gaps, barriers and needs that will need to be addressed if the agriculture sector in Asia is to raise mitigation and adaptation ambitions. The findings of this report will help member countries to reflect on their progress in advancing toward NDC priorities for agriculture and associated national climate goals including related targets under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis also helps to make clear the links between the NDCs from the region and the ongoing work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in support of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA). -
ProjectHelping Countries to Plan and Implement Climate Action in Agriculture through Improved Capacity and Knowledge - GCP/GLO/890/GER 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Paris Agreement constitutes a landmark achievement in the international response to climate change. Developed and developing countries alike committed in 2015 to doing their part in the transition to a low-emissions and climate-resilient future, as expressed in countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Achieving the long-term climate goals of the Agreement, however, rests upon the enhanced institutional and technical capacity of developing countries to design, implement and track increasingly ambitious mitigation and adaption actions in the agriculture sectors. In the first round of NDCs, countries clearly referred to the need for enhanced capacities to engage stakeholders and facilitate inclusive planning and implementation processes, formulate new strategies, policies and laws, revise existing national policies and plans (including by mainstreaming climate change considerations), monitor and evaluate interventions and track GHG emissions and sinks, as well as adaptation needs and progress. Providing opportunities for exchange among decision-makers, technical experts and implementers can thereby contribute to laying the foundations for successful and ambitious interventions.
