FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific

Special Event: IPCC Special Report on Climate and Land (Communicating key findings and implications for Asia and Pacific)

28/10/2019-28/10/2019 Bangkok, Thailand

 

The proposed one-day special event has two goals at least: (i) communicate the report's policy findings to a general audience (of government, civil society, NGOs and media); (ii) explore ways to initiate and develop further collaborations by FAO and partners building on the report's findings and the momentum this may unleash for the Asia region. In particular, explore opportunities for new collaborative programs or initiatives that address the linkages between climate change and climate policies with food, nutrition, and other land-based ecosystem services.
