The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched an action plan to help its members implement its ambitious strategy on climate change. The strategy, which was endorsed in June 2022, aims to make agrifood systems sustainable, inclusive, resilient, and adaptive to climate change.
Agrifood systems are responsible for about a third of total greenhouse gas emissions, but they also offer many solutions to climate change. The FAO's action plan focuses on three pillars: advocacy, policy support, and scaling up climate action.
Under the advocacy pillar, FAO will work to raise awareness of the importance of climate-smart agrifood systems and to promote policies that support their development. Under the policy support pillar, FAO will provide technical assistance to its members to help them develop and implement climate-smart policies and practices. And under the scaling up climate action pillar, FAO will work to scale up the implementation of climate-smart agrifood systems through partnerships and investments.
The FAO's action plan is a significant step forward in the organization's efforts to address climate change. It provides a clear roadmap for how FAO will help its members build sustainable, resilient, and low-emission agrifood systems.
Here are some of the key actions that FAO will take under the action plan:
The FAO's action plan is a valuable tool for the organization and its members. It provides a clear framework for action and a roadmap for the future. I am confident that the action plan will help to make a real difference in the fight against climate change.
