Описание: Climate change is transforming the planets ecosystems and threatening the well-being of current and future generations. To "hold the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius" and avoid "dangerous" climate change,2 deep cuts in global emissions are urgently required. The global livestock sector contributes a significant share to anthropogenic GHG emissions, but it can also deliver a significant share of the necessary mitigation effort. Concerted and collective action from all sector stakeholders is urgently required to ensure that existing and promising mitigation strategies are implemented. The need to reduce the sectors emissions and its environmental footprint has indeed become ever more pressing in view of its continuing expansion to ensure food security and feed a growing, richer and more urbanized world population. Technologies and practices that help reduce emissions exist but are not widely used. Their adoption and use by the bulk of the worlds producers can result in significant reductions in emissions. Emission intensities (emissions per unit of animal product) vary greatly between production units, even within similar production systems. Different farming practices and supply chain management explain this variability. Within the gap between the production units with the lowest emission intensities and those with the highest emission intensities, lies an important potential for mitigation. A 30 percent reduction of GHG emissions would be possible, for example, if producers in a given system, region and climate adopted the technologies and practice currently used by the 10 percent of producers with the lowest emission intensity.
The case studies presented provide an integrated picture of how increasing climate variability and extremes are negatively affecting agriculture, resulting in destructive secondary impacts on livelihoods, income, food prices and coping capacities. These in turn lead to increased food insecurity.
According to the study, the challenge is to scale up and accelerate actions that strengthen the resilience of food systems and livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. Integrated, rather than dissociated, disaster risk reduction and management, as well as climate adaptation policies, programmes and practices are critical.
Название: Agriculture and Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities at the Global and Local Level - Collaboration on Climate-Smart Agriculture ISBN: 9251312818 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251312810 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 33270.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This publication presents the achievements of the International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project, which include capacity development, training, information-sharing and several country studies. The project notably contributed to feasibility studies in Botswana, Ecuador and Ethiopia, as well as a case study on Italy that showcased conservation agriculture as a successful approach to overcoming soil fertility loss and erosion in 15 regions. The publication demonstrates how the project has laid the foundations for a strong knowledge community to support climate-smart agriculture (CSA) implementation across countries and regions, thereby contributing to international climate commitments and sustainable development in the field of agriculture and food security. The International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project was funded by the Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea of Italy (IMELS) and implemented by FAO, in order to advance knowledge-sharing, learning and partnership-building around the CSA approach and to create a Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA).

Описание: This working paper identifies five core nationally determined contribution (NDC) pillars and sub-components specific to the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector, based on a global stocktaking of NDCs and alignment with the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement. It can serve as a framework for formulating NDC priorities, planning processes and support needs in the AFOLU sector, as well as a comparative benchmark for highlighting gaps and entry points for ambition-raising in future NDC revisions.
Understanding current NDC priorities and support needs is critical to upscaling climate action in 2020 and ensuring a progressive cycle of ambition over time. There is a need to unpack and assess national climate change mitigation and adaptation priorities at the sectoral and activity level, to understand the climate-related hazards and risks threatening ecosystems and the livelihood systems they sustain, and to identify the various barriers, capacity gaps and support needs impeding the dissemination of technologies and resources for the uptake of climate action on the ground.
This paper is aimed at national policy makers sitting in ministries of environment, agriculture, finance and social planning involved in NDC planning and coordination. It is also directed at international and non-governmental organizations, development agencies and finance institutions so as to guide the provision of support towards closing the underlying finance, technology and capacity gaps impeding NDC implementation in the sector.
