This document analyzes the potential synergies and trade-offs between agricultural productivity, climate mitigation, adaptation, water quality, and biodiversity under different policy instruments using theoretical and empirical models. It applies these models to data from Finland to analyze the impact of various policies, finding that: decoupled payments negatively impact productivity but not others; crop insurance subsidies have little impact; a nitrogen tax improves productivity, mitigation, and biodiversity but hurts adaptation and water quality; payments for set-asides and a soil carbon tax improve mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity but reduce productivity; and investment subsidies improve adaptation but not productivity.

1. There are at least 55 billion euros in biodiversity harmful subsidies in Germany that should be reduced, including subsidies for agriculture, bioenergy, housing, and transport. 2. Compensation payments of over 2 billion euros could be introduced annually for excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. 3. Redirecting a small portion of funds from restructuring harmful subsidies could substantially increase biodiversity expenditures in Germany, which are currently only 0.6 billion euros per year.

Aard Mulders - Rural responses to global climate change objectives

OECDregions

This document discusses rural responses to global climate change in the Netherlands. It proposes a sustainable farming approach focused on the regional farm landscape. The goals are to implement a Common Agricultural Policy that addresses water, climate, landscape, biodiversity, soil and rural viability through a result-based regional approach. Sustainable development plans would establish public services at the farm and landscape levels. The objectives are to decrease flooding risks in Europe, increase soil organic matter nationally and regionally, and strengthen organic matter locally through no-tillage, permanent grasslands and continuous green cover. The policy needs include a regionally targeted, performance-based approach with farm and landscape measures, flexibility, farmer cooperation, and strengthened monitoring and knowledge sharing.

Item 9: Report on the State of knowledge of soil biodiversity

This document outlines the process and key findings from a report on the state of soil biodiversity. It involved a survey of 57 countries, input from over 400 experts, and peer review from various organizations. The report structure includes 6 chapters covering topics like threats to soil biodiversity and responses. Key messages are that soil organisms are essential for food production, climate mitigation, human health and environmental protection. While our understanding has improved, soil-degrading practices threaten these contributions. Protecting soil biodiversity through assessment, monitoring, knowledge and policies should be part of biodiversity protection efforts at all levels. Next steps include presenting preliminary findings at various upcoming conferences.

An introduction to the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation

NikolayMehandzhiyski

- The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was adopted in 2002 with 16 targets to halt the loss of plant diversity. It provided a framework for plant conservation that was pioneering for the Convention on Biological Diversity. - Progress was made towards many targets by the 2020 deadline through efforts like assessments of over 300,000 plant species and the creation of online floras and databases, however not all targets were fully met. - A new post-2020 global strategy is being developed to support the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework through 21 proposed actions addressing key threats to plants and promoting their sustainable use. The actions aim to strengthen plant conservation efforts by governments, organizations, and local communities up to 20

Feeding the world while holding the carbon in forests and soils

Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriö / yleiset

This document outlines the key issues around feeding the world while storing carbon in forests and soils. It discusses that food security and climate change mitigation are complex issues that involve more than just food production and carbon storage. It argues that a sustainable landscapes approach integrating forestry, agriculture and other land uses can help make progress on these issues. Evidence-based policies that make use of scientific findings will be important to develop solutions at scale. Overall, feeding the world and storing carbon can be achieved, but require investment, appropriate planning tools, use of science, and consideration of all factors influencing food security and climate change.

Stephanie Bodenbach, European Commission, DG SANCO

This document discusses the EU initiative on salt reduction. It began in 2007 with the Strategy for Europe on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity-related Health Issues. This led to the establishment of an EU Framework for National Salt Initiatives to coordinate a common vision and comparable progress across EU countries. The framework focuses on voluntary cooperation with the food industry, supported by some national legislation. A 2012 survey found most countries had negotiations with industry, resulting in some quantifiable agreements to reduce salt, though barriers to further engagement remain. Key factors influencing implementation include support from stakeholders and government institutions, as well as challenges from working with industry and economic pressures.

Good practices: Livestock production with minimal use of antibiotics

In 1984, the Federation of Swedish Farmers proposed working to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock production due to differences in opinions between farmers and authorities. Farmers were ahead of authorities in realizing that limiting antibiotic use could provide a competitive advantage. Since then, Swedish farmers have achieved low disease incidence, low antibiotic use, and good growth in livestock through improved management practices like sectioning stables, all in/all out production, emptying stables between groups, better feed, and disease eradication - without the use of antibiotics for growth promotion. A ban on antibiotics for growth promotion was implemented in 1986.

Good practices: Livestock production with minimal use of antibiotics

Ekaterina Bessonova

The document discusses Sweden's transition away from the use of antibiotics in livestock production in the 1980s and 1990s. It proposes that the Federation of Swedish Farmers work to reduce antibiotic use with the view that doing so would create a competitive advantage. Through improving animal welfare practices like housing conditions and nutrition, Swedish farmers were able to reduce disease incidence and antibiotic use, maintaining good growth rates. The transition involved banning antibiotics for growth promotion and reducing group treatments.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change. How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security? This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system. OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.
