Food Security and Climate Benefits through Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Agriculture

The brief demonstrates that agriculture sectors’ mitigation potential is recognized by 86% countries in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Therefore, climate change mitigation potential of agriculture needs to be unlocked timely to address the emission gap and keep the temperature increase below 2°C limit. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) provide a mechanism for supporting countries to implement their NDC and achieve a number of SDGs by enhancing agricu ltural productivity, supporting food security and rural development while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Using the experience and lessons learned from NAMA processes and addressing technical, finance, and institutional barriers of its implementation will support the fulfillment of NDCs and SDGs.
