- Our presentation is organised in two parts. In the first part, we will set the stage, examine the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs, and see how to place agriculture in the SDG agenda.
- On 25 September 2015, the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to succeed the Millennium Development Goals from 2016 to 2030. 1. The 2030 Agenda includes 17 SDGs with 169 targets, to be monitored by 231 global indicators. The Sustainable Development Agenda integrates two other major agreements of 2015: 2. the Paris Climate Agreement, a global treaty to mitigate and adapt to climate change; and 3. the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, a framework for financial and non-financial means of implementation. Together, these global objectives expected to guide the actions of the international community over the next 15 years (2016-2030). They are designed to tackle the world’s global development challenges, with the ultimate ambition of ending poverty and hunger and move to an era of sustainable development in its three dimensions – social, economic and environmental.
- By now everybody knows the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals
- The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do not simply complete the unfinished business of the MDGs but represent a real transformation in viewing and doing development for which all actors must revisit their own roles. UN support to Member States is shifting, with less emphasis on joint projects and more attention to policy advice, institutional capacity building, monitoring of progress and as a facilitator of support processes and partnerships. All actors align to common priorities and all report from local to global in the High-level Political Forum What is new? Country-driven and country-owned – Drafted and negotiated by countries Universal – the 2030 Agenda is as relevant to developed as it is to developing nations Indivisible – no one goal is separate from the others, and all call for comprehensive and participatory approaches Inclusive – engages all State and non-State actors (private sector, civil society) Complexity calls for big expansion of data required to establish baselines and measure progress. Disaggregation of data at all levels required. From average to absolute. Most vulnerable as the priority target, their participation essential to achieve SDGs
- The 2030 Agenda offers a vision for food and agriculture as enablers of sustainable development. Targets relating to food and agriculture go far beyond SDG2 (Zero Hunger and sustainable agriculture) to practically all 17 goals. Sustainable management and use of natural resources, including preservation and restoration of genetic diversity, are reflected in both SDG2 and in dedicated goals. Agriculture is identified as key in measures to combat climate change. Food − the way it is grown, produced, traded, transported, processed, stored and marketed − is the fundamental connection between people and the planet, and the path to inclusive and economic growth
- Mapping the role of food and agriculture will become important as countries progressively align with the SDGs. In this graph, you can see the results of a very recent exercise of mapping FAO’s forthcoming Mid-Term Plan 2018-21 to the SDGs. Like many institutions across the world, FAO is now proposing to measure the impact of its work through the SDG indicators. This is the result: about 50 indicators that will, in a way or another, be affected by FAO work. We see that the bulk of the effort is in FAO’s core business, SDG2 on food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture, but we also see that a relevant number of indicators fall within other SDGs: SDG 1 on poverty SDG 6 on water SDG 12 on sustianable consumption and production SDG 13 on climate change SDG 14 on fisheries and aquatic ecosystems SDG15 on land and forests SDG 16 and 17 on justice, global partnership and means of implementation Such a mapping exercise can be done by any institution, including at national level, wishing to link its
- For achieving the SDGs, a new approach is needed, one that integrates agriculture with other sectors, including forestry and fisheries, and that takes into account trade-offs and synergies across sectors and sustainability dimensions. FAO has recently developed the elements of a framework and approach to address sustainable development in agriculture, forestry and fisheries in a more effective and integrated way. This approach helps support the necessary policy dialogues and governance arrangements, and to identify sustainable development pathways across the SDGs, across the sectors and along related value chains, in line with the principles and approaches underpinning the 2030 Agenda. This approach, and the framework on which it is built, have been adopted by the FAO’s Technical Committees in view of encouraging more effective and coherent action within and across these sectors in implementing the 2030 Agenda.
- The Sustainable Food and Agriculture approach considers the following five elements, also referred to as ‘principles’: Improving efficiency in the use of resources conserve, protect and enhance natural resources Protect rural livelihoods and improve equity and social well-being Enhance the resilience of people, communities and ecosystems Establishment of responsible and effective governance mechanisms
- How to raise the profile of food and agriculture in the SDG agenda at national level? We are in a transition phase as governments integrate the SDGs to their national plans, developing innovative partnerships and mobilizing means of implementation. Governments are establishing SDG Secretariats and SDG units at national and local level to provide a platform for inter-ministerial and intergovernmental coordination Development actors at country and regional level are revising their support to countries, adjusting strategic priorities in line with the 2030 Agenda and readying to present their comparative strengths as partners to relevant ministries and national stakeholders. . It is the right time to engage with these initiatives in a pro-active and constructive manner. The great ambition of the SDGs can only be achieved through cooperation and partnerships between multiple actors and across a broad range of areas. Countries can be supported in different ways: Raise awareness on the 2030 Agenda and the role of food and agriculture Understand and link to SDG process in the country Map SDGs to national plans: ‘domestication’; set priorities, link to UNDAF and FAO-CPF Mainstream the principles of sustainable food and agriculture in the policy discussion Develop mechanisms for inclusive stakeholder engagement, create ownership and foster cross-sectoral dialogue Develop partnerships and mobilize means of implementation Help developing monitoring capacity, and report on results and challenges.
- Examples of on-going processes at national level are presented here. The situation is moving fast, as countries are getting organized to respond to the challenge.
- In order to achieve this very ambitious agenda, we will need to be able to mark our starting point with quantifiable information and regularly measure and report progress made. So, by 2030, we can see just how far we’ve come. …
- Indicators are central to the SDG process. They have to power to help focusing action on measurable targets, and we see in many countries that monitoring becomes almost more important than the efforts that are needed to achieve the Goals and reach their targets. Countries have also led the selection of the 231 indicators through the Inter-Agency Expert Group on SDGs. International organizations, including FAO, have supported the process. Now, international organizations will be responsible for working with countries to help reporting on these indicators. The main counterpart of these activities is a country’s National Statistical Office, whose role as coordinator of the national statistics system is expected to be strengthened. But this can only be effective if the statisticians work together with the technical experts to provide the bridge between these important topics and the way to measure them.
- About 50 indicators are closely or loosely related to food and agriculture. Of these, Fao is custodian of 21 indicators that range from SDG2, to 5, 6, 14 and 15 But not all indicators are equal... they are divided into 3 tiers: 1, 2 and 3 depending on the the availability of existing methodology and data
- As of today, there are three categories of indicators. Tier 1, 2 and 3 Tier1 indicator has an existing methodology and time series data.. Therefore reporting on this indicator is fairly straightforward. and the indicator of food price anomalies is an example of a tier2 indicator, which means that a methodology exists but has no or very limited time series data This indicator, proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture, is particularly interesting because it captures the concept of sustainable production, and its cross cutting nature, which is very relevant to what we are discussing at this workshop. It has been categorized as tier3, which indicates it does not yet have an internationally recognized methodology nor time series data. So while it may represent a stronger effort for a country to collect this information, we need to challenge the business as usual approach with new ways to collect information that can be very relevant to policymaking.
- Here are some examples of what FAO’s support countries in monitoring the SDGs. Delivering training programmes (e-learning courses, regional and national training workshops and seminars) to roll-out the guidelines and manuals developed by FAO Technical assistance to improve current data collection and dissemination techniques; Technical assistance to help identify national- or regional-specific SDG indicators
