http://www.fao.org/in-action/micca/en/ The presentation provides an overview of mitigation in the AFOLU sector and the co-benefits between mitigation and adaptation, highlighting that Most of the agriculture practices and technologies allow for co-benefits in terms of food security and nutrition, incomes, adaptation, resilience, etc. The presentation was made by Martial Bernoux, MICCA Programme Coordinator, FAO on Day 1 of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Workshop, 5-7 April 2016, Rome, Italy. © FAO: http://www.fao.org

>88% of emissions
of Agriculture sector
Share of Total emission
Agriculture sector = 30%
Land Use = 19%

5. There is a wide range of agricultural practices and technologies
Co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation
Most of them
allow for co-
benefits in terms
of food security
and nutrition,
incomes,
adaptation,
resilience, etc.

Co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation
GLOBAL LOCAL
CSA pursues the triple objectives of sustainably increasing
productivity and incomes, adapting to climate change and
reducing GHG emissions and enhancing removals where possible
Climate-smart agriculture, forestry and fisheries (CSA)
Most of them
allow for co-
benefits in terms
of food security
and nutrition,
incomes,
adaptation,
resilience, etc.

7. Co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation
a holistic approach for all
agricultural sectors, and their
correlation with food security and
other human needs, would
improve the effectiveness of
actions undertaken to manage
climate change by addressing
intrinsically linked challenges
as one
FAO’s submissions to the UNFCCC on
Issues relating to agriculture, for
consideration at SBSTA 44 in May
2016, call for an holistic approach for
agricultural sectors
