This analysis aims to summarize the views submitted on KJWA topics 2(d) that were discussed during the SB 51 in December 2019, namely: Topic 2(d) - Nutrient use and manure management. The analysis intends to make the wide range of views submitted more easily accessible to those interested, including to Parties and observers to the UNFCCC, but also experts working on climate change more generally, as well as interested members of the public.
The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on biodiversity, hereafter called Biodiversity TAG, is composed of 25 international experts in ecology, biodiversity indicators, agronomy, life cycle assessment, livestock production systems, and environmental science. Their backgrounds, complementary between systems and regions, allowed them to understand and address different perspectives.
The aim of the methodology developed in these guidelines is to introduce a harmonized international approach for assessing the impacts of livestock on biodiversity. The livestock sector is a major user of natural resources (land in particular) and an important contributor to pollution (e.g. causing nutrient losses, increasing greenhouse gas emissions), which makes it one of the sectors with the highest impact on biodiversity. At the same time, livestock production is one of the few sectors with not only negative but also positive impacts on biodiversity; therefore, the sector can pull two levers to improve its biodiversity performance – mitigate harm and maximize benefits.

This case study describes the key steps taken to formulate and implement a National Adaptation Plan (NAPs) in Thailand, with a particular emphasis on adaptation in agriculture (including forestry, livestock and fisheries). It aims to offer valuable insights to national policy makers and other stakeholders who are on the same NAP journey to address the challenges posed by climate change.
The case study also presents the lessons learned from the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans (NAP–Ag) programme and its activities in Thailand.
