Enhancing the Profile of Agriculture Sectors in the Climate Change Agenda - GCP/GLO/875/GER
FAO has estimated that Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from agricultureand land sectors amount to 21 percent of total global GHG emissions. Ifthese emissions continue, in the long run, agriculture sectors worldwidewill be negatively impacted. Combined with the goal of boosting foodproduction by 60 percent to feed nine billion people by 2050, achievingemission reductions in agriculture and land use is the defining challengefor these sectors. Against this background, there was an urgent demandto address capacity gaps and needs, to showcase how countries addressand monitor the progress of climate change in agriculture and land sectors,and to provide a platform for exchange among decision-makers, technicalexperts and implementers, to lay the groundwork for successfulinterventions. The project aimed to help mobilize ambition and actions inthe agriculture and land sectors in relation to climate change; in particularas part of the implementation of the United Nations Framework Conventionon Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement, during the critical pre-2020period; as well as the long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
