- 1. Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture FAO Perspective Martial Bernoux Natural Resources Officer Climate and Environment Division FAO – CCAFS Global Online Webinar 21 February 2018
- 2. FAO Work on Agriculture and Food Security Agriculture is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and needs to adapt while also representing an important share of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, agriculture and climate change must be tackled together through a profound transformation for resilient food and agricultural systems. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025 call on all countries and stakeholders to act together to end hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition by 2030. a holistic approach for all agricultural sectors, and their correlation with food security and other human needs, would improve the effectiveness of actions undertaken to manage climate change by addressing intrinsically linked challenges as one
- 3. 2017…a year to remember Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture
- 4. a. Implementation of five in-session workshops on issues related to agriculture Importance of knowledge provision and sharing. Land-CC Hub – a knowledge platform for climate action in agricultural sectors. Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use, established under the NDC Partnership.
- 5. c. Soil carbon, soil health, soil fertility under grassland and cropland as well as integrated systems, including water management The mandate of the GSP is to improve governance of the limited soil resources of the planet in order to guarantee healthy and productive soils for a food secure world, as well as support other essential ecosystem services, in accordance with the sovereign right of each State over its natural resources.
- 6. b. Methods and approaches for assessing adaptation, adaptation co-benefits and resilience Importance of linking to other monitoring, reporting processes and requirements as part of SDGs / UNFCCC / Sendai Framework DRR
- 7. d. Improved nutrient use and manure management towards sustainable and resilient agricultural systems Work on the Impacts, trade off and synergies Guidance and support including on Management of Fertilizers (COCOFE) Working with other partners and initiative (e.g. Global partnership on nutrient management) Online consultation for developing the Code of Conduct for the Management of Fertilizers (COCOFE) http://www.fao.org/fsnforum/activities/discussions/CoCoFe
- 8. Importance of link, for example on manure management / livestock Livestock actions and methane (CH4) lifetime Productivity improvements that reduce emission intensities Working with other partners and initiative (e.g. Global partnership on nutrient management) Pests and disease e. Improved livestock management systems Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model d. Improved nutrient use and manure management towards sustainable and resilient agricultural systems
- 9. f. Socio-economic and food security dimensions of climate change in agricultural sector Inherent to FAO mandate Coordination with other agencies and the CFS Need to link Economics & Policy innovations
- 10. The way Forward FAO will continue to support countries and UNFCCC processes FAO will continue to work with countries to facilitate access to Climate Finance, including through GEF, GCF and other funding sources. Recognition of the specificity of Agriculture Agriculture is different than the other sectors (emissions intensities). Landscape approach / holistic dimension

- I am pleased to present FAO perspective on the Koronivia decision. But as you can i,magine in 5 minutes I will only able to propose an overview and I will not be able to cover all details. I apologize in advance for that!
- Let’s start by a unique side on FAO work on Agriculture and Food Security Agriculture is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change while also representing an important share of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, agriculture and climate change must be tackled together through a profound transformation of food and agricultural systems. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016–2025 call on all countries and stakeholders to act together to end hunger and prevent all forms of malnutrition by 2030. The decision recognizes the important role of agriculture, which is essential for food security and represents an important part of the economy, especially in developing and least developed countries. a holistic approach for all agricultural sectors, and their correlation with food security and other human needs, would improve the effectiveness of actions undertaken to manage climate change by addressing intrinsically linked challenges as one
- Now FAO warmly welcomed the Koroniva decision at last COP. The same year where FAO approved its strategy on climate change and after evidencing that agriculture is prominent in most NDC, focused on supporting countries to turn NDC into actions. Now, lets consider the different items in the decision The momentum is
- The in-session workshops have highlighted the importance of knowledge provision and sharing. FAO decided therefore, supported by the Government of Germany, to start developing a knowledge platform for sharing information and experiences, in support of increased sustainable production and food security. The platform will facilitate capacity development through peer-to-peer learning and provide access to effective tools and knowledge resources to support Parties and relevant stakeholders. FAO contributes to established the first Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use, under the NDC Partnership, co-chair by countries and which provides an additional forum to exchange information and best practices, as well as to formulate the support needs in the agricultural sectors.
- On soils agenda, we should make use of existing parnershp such as the Global Soil Parnership. The mandate of the GSP respond perfectly to the need expressed in the Koronivia decision. The GSP will also develop awareness and contribute to the development of capacities, build on best available science, and facilitate/contribute to the exchange of knowledge and technologies among stakeholders for the sustainable management and use of soil resources
- On Methods Methods and approaches for assessing adaptation, adaptation co-benefits and resilience The Important is to link to other monitoring, reporting processes and requirements as part of SDGs / UNFCCC / Sendai Framework DRR Developing innovative, user-friendly tools and methods for assessing adaptation, adaptation benefits and resilience. Among others, these include Tracking Adaptation in Agriculture Sectors (TAAS), Bioenergy and Food Security Approach, Agriculture Stress Index System, EX-Ante Carbon balance tool and FAOSTAT; Strengthening institutional capacities, policies and financing mechanisms for adaptation through integrating the agriculture sectors in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs); Providing guidelines and e-learning courses to enhance knowledge and adaptive capacities. Examples include a Massive Open Online Course “National Adaptation Plans: Building Climate resilience in Agriculture”, and a “Knowledge Tank” containing 120 categorized knowledge materials; ”Supplementary guidelines addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)”. Prioritizing actions for resilience and disaster risk reduction and management that go hand-in-hand with climate change adaptation activities.
- The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Our goal is to achieve food security for all and make sure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. With over 194 member states, FAO works in over 130 countries worldwide. We believe that everyone can play a part in ending hunger.
