In 2021, the United Nations Secretary-General will convene the Food Systems Summit to advance dialogue and action towards transforming the way the world produces, consumes and thinks about food guided by the overarching vision of a fairer, more sustainable world. The Secretary-General will also convene the High-Level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE) to promote the implementation of the energy-related goals and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Given the inextricable linkages between the energy and agriculture sectors, integrating the nexus perspective within the FSS and the HLDE is crucial to formulate a joint vision of actions to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. In this context, IRENA and FAO have decided to jointly develop a report on the role of renewable energy used in food chain to advance energy and food security as well as climate action towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
The purpose of this update NDC global report is to provide a sector-specific brief of how agriculture and land use are figured within the mitigation and adaptation contributions of countries’ second round NDCs. It will also present an analysis of the extent to which the level of ambition has changed between first and second round NDCs, with a focus on the agriculture and land-use sectors. The overall objective of the report is to communicate to the global climate change community the role agriculture and land use play in national mitigation and adaptation priorities.
This tool aims to guide developing countries in planning towards the preparation of their first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) and participation in the Technical Expert Review (TER). It facilitates the long-term planning and the necessary institutional arrangements that countries should have in place to guarantee the sustainable implementation of this report. The guidance provided is complemented by a series of questions that allow users to understand their current reporting status and generate an indicative country-driven roadmap to meet the BTR deadline in December 2024.
This excel-based package helps GHG inventory compilers manage the information related to the activity data (AD) and parameters in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU); energy; industrial processes and product use (IPPU); and waste sectors. Each excel file contains a comprehensive list of AD and parameters that must be collected to estimate all categories within these sectors.
This tool must be used in conjunction with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines that provides more explanations on the information needed.
