Protecting the health of animals to help reduce the effects of our changing climate on hunger and poverty

Livestock support more than 750 million of the world’s poorest people. This brochure makes the case that improving animal health should be an integral part of strategies aimed at food security and sustainable development in the context of climate change.

Firstly, to reduce impacts of climate change on animal health and the spread of pathogens – as the majority of emerging diseases have an animal origin. Secondly, to mitigate effects of climate change – as healthier animals are more productive and generate lower emissions per weight of product. Thirdly, to adapt to climate changes – as animals are more resilient than crops to adapt to marginal conditions and withstand climate shocks.To address these challenges, opportunities for action are presented – including developing capacity to tackle animal disease events triggered by climate change, promoting One Health approaches, and investing in public and private collaboration and research. Ongoing FAO activities in these areas are presented including tools, platforms and strategies to track, forecast and support control of disease outbreaks. FAO issues a call to action for strengthened engagement, investment and collaboration at the interface of animal health and climate change in order to improve food security while protecting the planet.

Year: 2020

This submission builds on previous FAO’s submissions of 2019 on possible activities related to the implementation of the LCIPP functions and on issues related to the Gender Action Plan and the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture. Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples have devised ingenious ways of managing their territories without depleting the natural resource base. As guardians of biodiversity, indigenous peoples hold vast traditional knowledge and play pivotal role in contributing to climate actions.

Reducing emissions intensity and improving natural resources management through livestock in natural grasslands in Uruguay

Year: 2020

This is a document in a series of case studies by member countries of the Thematic Working Group on Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use (TWG), under the NDC-Partnership. The aim is to present what countries are doing to tackle climate change and implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This case study shows how Uruguay is reducing emissions intensity and improving natural resources management through livestock in natural grasslands.
