Parties and observers under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) met in June 2019 to discuss the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) topic 2(b) on ‘Methods and approaches for assessing adaptation, adaptation co-benefits and resilience.' This brief provides a summary of those discussions and suggests potential entry points for the KJWA to move forward.
FAO welcomes the Koronivia roadmap (FCCC/SB/2018/L.1) and the opportunity to submit its views on the topics 2(e) – improved livestock management systems, including agropastoral production systems and others and 2(f) – Socioeconomic and food security dimensions of climate change in the agricultural sectors.
Given FAO’s wealth of knowledge and technical expertise and considering that climate change cuts across all its areas of work, FAO underlines the importance of topics of 2(e) and 2(f) and proposes some thematic areas to be considered for the in-session workshops which are outlined in this submission.
This report provides a unique, sector-specific synthesis of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from Latin America. It summarizes the substantial contributions already put forward by countries, opportunities for further action and the gaps, barriers and needs that will need to be addressed if the agriculture and land use sectors in Latin America are to raise mitigation and adaptation ambitions.

The regional analysis provided in this report reflects the dynamism and diversity existing within Asia. Asia is experiencing dramatic demographic changes, high population growth, urbanization and growing economic inequities. The food system in the region varies significantly between and within its many sub-regions in terms of climate, landscapes, ecosystems and farming systems. All of these factors provide the context for climate action at the national level and have shaped to some extent how agriculture is reflected in countries respective National Determined Contributions. This report provides a unique, sector-specific synthesis of the NDCs from Asia.
