    This publication provides a comprehensive analysis of mitigation and adaptation actions for agrifood systems in the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) of Europe and Central Asia, focusing on progress since the latest NDC Policy Analysis Report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2021. As the third report in the FAO series “Policy analysis of nationally determined contributions in Europe and Central Asia,” it updates the region’s advancement toward climate commitments outlined in the NDCs. The report also shares information on national policies and legislative frameworks, aiming to support the revision and submission of updated NDCs anticipated in 2025.The report offers an update on GHG emissions for each country, spotlighting the highest-emitting categories within the agricultural sector. It highlights recent developments in national climate change mitigation (CCM) priorities, policies and legal frameworks, showcasing how countries are adapting to meet their commitments. It also thoroughly analyzes the integration of adaptation measures, especially those related to agriculture, into NDCs, and assesses the prioritization of adaptation in sectoral policies, the progress in developing NDCs, and the availability of climate finance to support these initiatives.The publication also assesses the countries’ existing national policies and strategies, Long-term Low Emission Development Strategies, National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and other documents.In this report, the focus is on capturing efforts and progress made by countries in addressing the challenges posed by climate change in the context of agriculture and broader agrifood systems.

    This ‘Policy Analysis of Nationally Determined Contributions in Europe and Central Asia’ follows up on the previous effort to report on implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions in the region. Specifically, this publication compiles and analyzes the most relevant and updated information on policies and regulatory frameworks related to climate change in the region, including information on access to available climate finance to support countries in the implementation of their goals under the Paris Agreement. This publication identifies the current commitments, policy and finance gaps and opportunities for enhancing climate change mitigation and adaptation ambitions in countries of Europe and Central Asia region. It also assesses the impact of climate change on relevant sectors in the region, particularly in agriculture, as well as reviewing the linkages with other ongoing national processes, such as the Sustainable Development Goals implementation in member countries. This publication play a crucial role in contributing to FAO’s support to its member countries and, on this basis, facilitate exchanges of experiences among different countries and promote enhanced access to global financial windows, including FAO’s climate smart agriculture, forestry and fisheries interventions that can support countries in achieving their objectives.

    The main objective of this report is to provide a regional synthesis of the current climate change mitigation and adaptation commitments in the agriculture sectors of the Southern Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Asia (SEECA) region, as set forth in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and to identify opportunities for enhancing mitigation and adaptation ambitions, capturing their synergies and leveraging climate finance and international support options in the region. This analysis builds on FAO’s previous regional analysis and enhances its methodology and findings. It aims to guide FAO – and policy makers and practitioners in the region – committed to providing the country support required for accelerating progress on and scaling up NDCs in the agriculture sectors, and ensuring that future commitments are clear, quantifiable, comparable, transparent and ambitious.
