Synopsis (short abstract) This document provides an overview of FAO's involvement in the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture and its commitment to food security and sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) is a landmark decision recognizing the unique potential of agriculture in tackling climate change. The KJWA was established at the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2017 as a new process to advance discussions on agriculture in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The KJWA addresses six interrelated topics on soil, livestock, nutrient and water management as well as the food security and socio-economic impacts of climate change across agriculture, and methods for assessing climate change.
