FAO plays an important role in assisting Member
Countries with climate change issues related to agriculture and food security.
FAO's programme on climate change includes
- the promotion of practices for
the mitigation and adaptation of agricultural systems,
and for the reduction of emissions from
the agricultural sector considering the major objective
of ensuring food security,
- the development of practices aimed at
increasing the resilience of agricultural production systems,
- national and regional observing systems, as well as
- data and information collection and dissemination.
High Level Conference on World Food Security and the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy
FAO will organize a series of expert meetings on climate
change and bioenergy, to be held between January and March
2008 and two stakeholder consultations aimed at civil
society organizations and the private sector, to be held in
February and March 2008.
The expert meetings and stakeholder consultations will
be followed by a High-Level Conference on World Food
Security and the Challenges of Climate Change and
Bioenergy to take place 3 - 5 June 2008.
The High-Level Conference will be informed by work
undertaken and findings which emerge from the expert
meetings and stakeholder consultations.
