Other side events with FAO participation
4 June 2013
Current state of agriculture and mitigation: NAMAs, quantifying emissions and links to adaptation
18:30 - 20:00 Rail (MoT)
Progress in agricultural climate change mitigation requires a reframing whereby development and adaptation priorities drive mitigation options. New global assessments indicate the opportunities for linking mitigation to development agendas and the priorities for action.
8 June 2013
Learning for a post-2020 UNFCCC framework using national mitigation actions for peatlands as pilots
13:15-14:45 Wind (MoE)
Drained peatlands cover 0.3% of the land, but produce 6% of the global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Current UNFCCC rules largely ignore these emissions. The side event will discuss how peatland emission mitigation actions can inform negotiations on addressing land use in the post-2020 framework.
9 June 2013
National Adaptation Plans (NAP) Expo: Launching of the NAP process in LDCs
