Synopsis (short abstract) Given the importance of the sustainable use of biodiversity for food and agriculture, and the critical role of biodiversity and ecosystems in sustainable intensification of agricultural production, this publication addresses these issues, and by doing so also contributes to furthering the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Programme of Work on Agricultural Biodiversity and of FAO’s strategic framework on sustainability.

FAO/IPCC Expert meeting on land use, climate change and food security 2017

Also available in:

No results found.

One hundred scientists, economists and policy experts participated in a three-day expert meeting (EM) to engage in a high-level, globally oriented, and multidisciplinary scoping of topics that climate change to land use and food security. The EM was structured around five themes: climate impacts and human-directed drivers of land change and linkages to food security; mitigation and adaptation options; and policies for resource management, smallholder resilience, mitigation and food and nutrition security. The present report offers a comprehensive synthesis of the EM findings and conclusions reflecting the collective view participants and external reviewers. The report is a valuable source for the IPCC above-mentioned Special Report, especially in relation to food security, as well to researchers and policy makers concerned with the policy implication of food security in relation to post-Paris climate action and Agenda 2030.
