  4. 4. History: 5 Workshops SBSTA39 in-session workshop on the current state of scientific knowledge on how to enhance the adaptation of agriculture to climate change impacts while promoting rural development, sustainable development and productivity of agricultural systems and food security in all countries, particularly in developing countries, taking into account the diversity of the agricultural systems and the differences in scale as well as possible adaptation co- benefits SBSTA42 in-session workshop on the assessment of risk and vulnerability of agricultural systems to different climate change scenarios at regional, national and local levels, including but not limited to pests and diseases SBSTA42 in-session its effects such as workshop on the development of early warning systems and contingency plans in relation to extreme weather events and its effects such as desertification, drought, floods, landslides, storm surge, soil erosion, and saline water intrusion SBSTA44 in-session workshop on the identification of adaptation measures, taking into account the diversity of the agricultural systems, indigenous knowledge systems and the differences in scale as well as possible co-benefits and sharing experiences in research and development and on the ground activities, including socioeconomic, environmental and gender aspects SBSTA44 in-session workshop on the identification and assessment of agricultural practices and technologies to enhance productivity in a sustainable manner, food security and resilience, considering the differences in agro-ecological zones and farming systems, such as different grassland and cropland practices and systems
  5. 5. Decision 4/CP.23: What does it say? • Opens joint work on Agriculture under SBSTA and SBI (“Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture”) • Agrees on six broad and holistic focus areas to start the work • Invites Parties and observers to submit their views on elements to be included in the work • Requests SBSTA/SBI to report back to COP 26 (November 2020)
  6. 6. SBSTA and SBI Article 10 Subsidiary body for implementation - To assist the Conference of the Parties in the assessment and review of the effective implementation of the Convention - Under the guidance of the Conference of the Parties, this body shall: (a) Consider the information communicated in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 1, to assess the overall aggregated effect of the steps taken by the Parties in the light of the latest scientific assessments concerning climate change; (b) Consider the information communicated in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 2, in order to assist the Conference of the Parties in carrying out the reviews required by Article 4, paragraph 2 (d); and (c) Assist the Conference of the Parties, as appropriate, in the preparation and implementation of its decisions. Article 9 Subsidiary body for scientific and technological advice -To provide the Conference of the Parties and, as appropriate, its other subsidiary bodies with timely information and advice on scientific and technological matters relating to the Convention. – -Under the guidance of the Conference of the Parties, and drawing upon existing competent international bodies, this body shall: (a) Provide assessments of the state of scientific knowledge relating to climate change and its effects; (b) Prepare scientific assessments on the effects of measures taken in the implementation of the Convention; (c) Identify innovative, efficient and state-of-the-art technologies and know-how and advise on the ways and means of promoting development and/or transferring such technologies; (d) Provide advice on scientific programmes, international cooperation in research and development related to climate change, as well as on ways and means of supporting endogenous capacity-building in developing countries; and (e) Respond to scientific, technological and methodological questions that the Conference of the Parties and its subsidiary bodies may put to the body.
  7. 7. Decision 4/CP.23: What is the message? • Parties agreed on a substantive decision in agriculture at the international level, which many observers found unlikely given the history of such negotiations • The focus areas are extremely broad, covering matters such as adaptation, soil carbon and food security, and in that regard the decision gives clear direction to the work on agriculture, while also being one of the most holistic decisions under the UNFCCC with regards to a specific sector • The decision can be understood as a strong signal to all Parties and implementing agencies to also put a stronger focus on the implementation of agriculture activities
  8. 8. Outlook for 2018: immediate next steps • Submissions in March will give a first taste of Parties’ priorities for the work and will also be an opportunity for non-Parties to provide input • Continued communication among Parties and other key actors will remain key to advancing work under this agenda item
