Synopsis (short abstract) The following meeting report "Boosting Koronivia in the livestock sector" is part of a webinar series and is related to the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) topic 2(e) Improved livestock management systems including agro-pastoral production systems and others. The objectives of the online workshops were to:a) discuss the opportunities for livestock systems to be considered in national climate action, whilst at the same time enhancing livestock’s contribution to food and nutrition security, resilience and livelihoods; and b) exchange ideas and experiences on the best use of the KJWA outputs and roadmap to assist countries in including livestock targets in the national plans and actions.

This document provides an overview of FAO's involvement in the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture and its commitment to food security and sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) is a landmark decision recognizing the unique potential of agriculture in tackling climate change. The KJWA was established at the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2017 as a new process to advance discussions on agriculture in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The KJWA addresses six interrelated topics on soil, livestock, nutrient and water management as well as the food security and socio-economic impacts of climate change across agriculture, and methods for assessing climate change.

Private sector roundtable on climate action in Egypt's livestock and dairy sectors
Country workshop report, April 2024

FAO organized a roundtable with the Egyptian dairy industry in Cairo to discuss the impacts of climate change and to discuss how joint action can enable and accelerate the implementation of agrifood priorities in Egypt. The aim of the meeting was to explore how livestock and dairy sector actors are affected by climate change, what climate-friendly practices they are pursuing, what barriers exist to implementing such practices, and what kind of support is needed to encourage them to invest in climate action. The discussion aimed to survey financing options available from investors and financiers to support climate change adaptation and mitigation actions in the livestock and dairy subsectors in Egypt. Stakeholders such as producers, associations, cooperatives, feed manufacturers and companies in the dairy value chain, highlighted climate-related challenges such as the impact of heat stress on the dairy industry and livestock, as well as the increased costs due to climate-induced changes in price of input, feeds, amongst others. Private sector stakeholders also shared innovative practices that companies are adopting to mitigate emissions.This report is a summary of the discussions and recommendations from stakeholders that participated in the meeting.

The adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015 paved the way for countries to commit to the international response to climate change, through the transition to a low-emission economy and the development of a climate-resilient future. The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) is a landmark decision that was reached at the UN Climate Conference (COP23) in November 2017. The KJWA roadmap offered the opportunities to discuss the role of agri-food systems in climate action while considering their vulnerability to climate change and addressing food security. The KJWA can play a crucial role in enabling the livestock sector to contribute to climate action by mobilizing knowledge, technology, finance and capacity. It acknowledges the strategic importance of livestock including key areas such as improved soil carbon sequestration in grazed grasslands, improved nutrient use and manure management and improved livestock management systems. The KJWA process offers good opportunities for countries to exchange views and experiences related to the inclusion of livestock in their national climate actions. This brief summarises the outcomes of a series of regional workshops on “Boosting Koronivia in the livestock sector” organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 30 September to 22 October 2020. The workshops, attended by 35 countries from Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, provided a platform for countries to exchange experiences and discuss how the KJWA can support climate actions on livestock while delivering the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
