Book (stand-alone)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. -
BookletThe Nationally Determined Contributions Tracking Tool user manual 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Tracking Tool user manual emphasizes the context behind developing the NDC Tracking Tool, its structure, methodological approach, and step-by-step guidance on how to install and use the tool. This Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Nationally Determined Contributions Tracking Tool is an Excel-based, easy-to-use tool, which is designed to facilitate countries in collecting the information required to track progress made in implementing and achieving their NDCs. Based on the information available in each country, the tool allows to assess the progress on NDC implementation by (i) comparing planned versus implemented mitigation and adaptation actions, and (ii) estimating the GHG reduction achieved from the implementation of mitigation actions compared against the sectoral and/or national baseline and NDC target scenario. The tool is designed to support governments, national experts, and practitioners involved in the preparation, implementation, updating, revision, and reporting of all sectors covered by the NDC. -
Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming Carbon Balance Appraisal in Agriculture. EX-ACT: A Tool to Measure the Carbon-Balance
issue Papers. EASYPol Module 099
2011Also available in:
No results found.Agricultural systems can contribute significantly to an overall mitigation that will help to reduce the extent of adaptation required and catastrophic impacts on systems and sectors, on which lives and livelihoods depend. Many agricultural mitigation options, particularly those that involve soil C sequestration also generate co-benefits for adaptation, food security and rural development. This paper analyses the current context in which carbon balance and greenhouse gass (GHG) indicators fa ce growing interest in agriculture development. It highlights the multi-objective significance of carbon balance and multi benefits of improved carbon soil in term of mitigation, adaptation, cropping systems and local community resilience building. It proposes that Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) be used as the Agri-Environmental indicator in agriculture policy monitoring for developing countries and carbon balance as performance indicator in policy analysis. Tools that are currently available to calculate GHG emissions in agriculture sector at farm level or at project level are listed. EX-ACT1 Lastely, this paper develops a way in which carbon balance can be used in project and policy analysis, highlighting synergies with existing donors’ approaches. It also analyses the different ways to upscale the use of carbon balance methods within agriculture sector in developing countries. is presented as the specific tool to allow for a quick appraisal of the potential mitigation impacts o f agricultural investment projects, available to donors and planning officers, project designers and decision makers within agriculture and forestry sectors in developing countries.
