Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon everybody. My name is Kaisa Karttunen and I had a pleasure to work with the FAO NAP team in preparing the Supplementary Guidelines – Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans which is also called NAP-Ag guidelines. In my presentation, I will briefly introduce the guidelines and some additional materials that support the country level work on climate change adaptation planning.
- This is the cover page of FAO’s new NAP-Ag guidelines that were launched in the context of the climate talks in Bonn last month, in May 2017. It is thus a very new publication and we are looking forward to receiving feedback from the users. Let’s look a bit into the history and preparatory process.
- For many reasons, adaptation to climate change is a must in the agriculture sectors. The sectors are for example highly exposed and affected by impacts of climate change. The Ag sectors are key to achieving the second sustainable development goal – food and nutrition security to all. From the economic perspective, the agriculture sectors provide direct livelihood to 1.3 billion people and their dependents. We also see that adaptation goes hand in hand with sustainable management of natural resources. And just for clarification: When we talk about the agriculture sectors, we mean crops, livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture.
- The launch of the FAO NAP-ag guidelines is a step in a long process. A view to the past shows that IN 2012, UNFCCC launched guidelines for the formulation and implementation of NAPs. IN 2013, UNFCCC invited agencies and partners to develop sector-specific supplementary technical guidelines. Several agencies responded to this challenge and drafted supplementary guidelines e.g. WHO on Health GIZ on monitoring and evaluation WMO on meteorological services In 2014, also FAO initiated a process to prepare supplementary guidelines for the agriculture sectors.
- When FAO started discussing the need for specific guidelines for the agriculture sectors, three main objectives were identified. First, the guidelines should highlight the sector specific aspects in the national adaptation planning and implementation. Second: the guidelines should help in mainstreaming adaptation aspects into the agriculture sectors policies, plans and programmes. Third: the guidelines should also help countries in reducing vulnerability of the agriculture sectors on the climate change impacts.
- When drafting the guidelines, several audiences were kept in mind from climate change experts to agriculture specialists. It has become clear that more and more agencies are engaged in the adaptation planning and implementation at the country level. This is why we wanted the guidelines to be useful to many stakeholder groups.
- Several FAO units, other international agencies and country level experts were engaged at various stages of the NAP-Ag guideline preparation This approach was chosen to make use of the best available expertise and experience.
- The UNFCCC 2012 guidelines divided the planning process into four elements: starting in A by laying the groundwork and addressing the gaps; followed by the preparatory phase B and implementation strategy development C and monitoring and reviewing D.
- The NAP-Ag guidelines were drafted following the structure of the UNFCCC NAP guidelines. Under each element and step of the NAP planning, we highlight the issues that are specific to the agriculture sectors. It is also clear that the elements and steps are closely linked and information and conclusions from one step feed into another. What became also clear, is that all steps are not relevant for all countries, as for example there may be differences in availability of information and ground work and different analyses already done.
- As said, the NAP-AG guidelines are divided into four elements and each of them contains checklists and guiding questions to support the engagement of the agriculture sectors in the NAP planning and implementation.
- Element B is the one where the agriculture sector stakeholders expertise is highly needed when conducting risk and vulnerability analyses, ranking the risks, and identiffying and prioritizing adaptation options for the agriculture sectors.
- Similar guidance is available for each of the elements and steps of the process. Under Element C, for example, we refer to financing issues and link the readers to the GCF Readiness programme which can provide countries with: up to 3 million dollars to support the formulation of NAP (These three million can be: split up and accessed by multiple entities for smaller amounts (as we have been saying) and could even be applied for over time (e.g. you apply for 1M now to do a study on the basis of which you develop a more in-depth proposal for the remaining 2M)) Additionally, here we talk a lot about capacity development in the agriculture sectors to enable effective participation of the sector stakeholders in the adaptation planning and implementation.
- Element D is all about monitoring and harvesting lessons from the process and feeding back the findings into the future NAP planning and implementation.
- For those readers who are not so familiar with adaptation in the agriculture sectors, the guidelines have a specific section to highlight the most important vulnerabilities and adaptation issues in crops and livestock, forestry and fisheries and aquaculture. Additionally, several cross-cutting themes that are common to all agriculture sectors are elaborated. Among those, are for example gender, nutrion, biodiversity, land tenure and ecosystem based approaces.
- In addition to the NAP-Ag guidelines, FAO provides also other sources of guidance for adaptation planning and implementation. For example, a speficic NAP-Ag knowledge tank has been prepared. It is a database of publications, maps, tools and methods of FAO and several international agencies that can support adaptation planning, implementation and monitoring in the agriculture sectors at the country level.
- The Knowledge tank has a search engine drawing from a wide range of knowledge and materials on adaptation planning in the agriculture sectors
- Additionally, in 2016, FAO published a specific guidelines on integration of genetic diversity into national adaptation planning. This guidebook is accessible at FAO’s website as well as at the UNFCCC website.
- There is also a major support programme jointly by FAO and UNDP programme which operates in 11 countries providing support to the national ministries and other entities with integration of the agriculture sectors issues in National Adaptation Plans. This USD 17 Million Dollars (2015-2018) programme is financed by the German Government.
- The country level support work continues and in terms of technical guidance, a new manual for fisheries and aquaculture will soon be finalised.
