Synopsis (short abstract) Agrifood companies and the private sector are vital partners in addressing global climate change. The Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) (SCALA) programme recognizes their unique role in driving innovation and investment for transformative climate action in agriculture and land use. The SCALA private sector engagement guidance series aims to support SCALA-supported countries in their efforts to engage with the private sector for the implementation of their national climate plans. The first addition to this series is the "Private sector mapping, outreach, and engagement in climate-responsive agrifood systems" guidance. This guidance outlines a three-step process for collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive NAPs and NDCs implementation. It explains how to identify relevant private sector actors, prioritize them based on climate relevance and potential contributions, and engage them strategically in joint climate action. By utilising this guidance, countries can enhance private sector engagement, foster partnerships, and drive climate actions in the agrifood sectors.

This strategy outlines the approach of the Scaling up Climate Ambition on Land Use and Agriculture through NDC and NAP (SCALA) programme to enable private sector engagement (PSE). This strategy has been developed to articulate the background, guiding principles and framework that informs potential country level and global activities related to PSE. In addition, it illustrates what these activities are and provides details on expected outcomes related to PSE across the different SCALA countries given their varying contexts and experience with PSE in the relevant sectors. Finally, the strategy highlights the PSE-related tools and methodologies that will be available for countries to support them in achieving their goals under the SCALA programme.

This leaflet is one of the communication products developed by FAO and the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs, in its role as National Designated Authority (NDA) to Green Climate Fund (GCF) in the frames of the country's second project under the Green Climate Fund Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme - “Strengthening country capacities for climate change adaptation and mitigation and finalization of Country Work Programme for the Republic of North Macedonia”. As part of the project, FAO is working with the Government to map the private sector actors in North Macedonia and help them fully tap into opportunities for transformative investments in resilient and low-carbon economic development that could also bring efficiency and profitability gains. To facilitate the interaction with the private sector in the context of climate finance, a mix of activities are implemented to foster and strengthen private sector interest and engagement in climate finance. This leaflet is part of the communication products aiming to familiarize private sector actors in North Macedonia regarding the possibilities to engage in climate and green investments by taking advantage of financing mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund.

Guidance on core indicators for agrifood systems – Measuring the private sector’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals 2021

Also available in:

The publication "Guidance on core indicators for agrifood systems – Measuring the private sector’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals" aims to provide practical information on how food and agriculture companies’ contribution to the SDGs can be measured in a consistent manner and in alignment with countries’ needs relating to monitoring the attainment of Agenda 2030. The indicators are further intended to serve as a tool to assist governments in:
improving private sector’s accountability mechanisms and assessing their contribution to SDG implementation, in particular on key transformative actions needed to achieve the SDGs;
setting standards and policies for corporate sustainability reporting, establishing national private sector reporting mechanisms, and enabling the reporting on SDG Indicator 12.6.1 (Number of companies publishing sustainability reports); and
potentially reusing the data reported by private entities to improve SDG monitoring at the national level.
Available in a user-friendly format, the guidance begins with a quick guide that provides a brief overview of the indicators, the audience, scope, and data collection. It is followed by methodological guidance, which provides in-depth detail on the methodology behind each indicator and useful resources for capturing, measuring, and reporting on data for each indicator. Finally, in the annexes, there is a mapping of how the indicators align with various standards and guidance.
