Synopsis (short abstract) As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Mongolia has committed to certain protocols for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) regarding progress toward its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. However, gaps remain in the MRV systems for the agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) sector. In order to fulfil Mongolia’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) commitments and improve the quality of climate related decision making at all levels, these gaps should be addressed, including inadequate institutional arrangements and technological and technical capacities for mitigation related MRV and adaptation related monitoring and reporting. As such, this project sought to conduction activities that enhance the overall quality of information related to those issues by aligning MRV practices with global standards. It was designed to ensure that all stakeholders access and benefit from the resulting MRV improvements, and focused on addressing coordination and measurement gaps that are prerequisites for reporting.

    Strengthening Capacities for Improving Climate Action in Agriculture - TCP/ARM/3805 2024

    Owing to the vulnerability of its ecosystems and the occurrence of frequent natural disasters, Armenia is particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. As temperatures rise, the country is likely to experience the expansion of drylands, loss of forest cover, range shifts of certain species, flooding, landslides, and drought. These phenomena will have deleterious effects on the country’s poor rural communities, who largely depend on subsistence farming. To mitigate the above-mentioned effects of a changing climate, Armenia has expressed a strong commitment to implementing adaptation measures in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, among others, and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In 2018, Armenia joined the NDC Partnership and established an NDC Partnership Support Unit. The Unit then launched an initiative designed to build national capacity to develop, select, prioritize and carry out projects and activities that contribute to the implementation of the country’s NDC priorities, and to monitor these projects and activities.

    The KoroniviaJoint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) decision (decision 4/CP.23) was reached at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in November 2017 (COP23). This landmark decision officially acknowledges the significance of countries’ agriculture sectors in adapting to and mitigating climate change. It also recognizes that to achieve greater results, it is necessary to combine scientific and technical negotiations with exchanges on how to facilitate implementation. A number of tools for climate change adaptation and mitigation in agricultural sectors are of mandatory use by most international finance institutions and multilateral development banks, when designing and proposing new investments and projects concerning agriculture sectors. However, most of these tools were developed using methodologies for measuring greenhouse gas emissions issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and will soon become obsolete, owing to the refinement of these methodologies in May 2019. In addition, negotiators and stakeholders involved in the KJWA process call for ad hoc digested information related to the different topics covered by the decision. This information should also be available in French and Spanish, to ensure wider access to the information by more technical staff within the different ministries working at the nexus of agriculture and climate change.

    Support for the Implementation of the Pre-Cop, Cop25 and the Creation of a Regional Platform to Address Climate Action in Agricultural Production Sectors - TCP/RLA/3717 2023
    Also available in:
    Climate change has brought with it increased climatic variation, changes in rainfall patterns and an increase in the incidence and potency of natural disasters around the world This has had major impacts on productive activities worldwide, especially those directly related to climate, natural cycles and ecosystem functions This is expected to have major consequences for agricultural, forestry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture production systems, exacerbating the negative impacts of unsustainable practices and high carbon and water footprints It will also weaken the resilience of ecosystems and natural resources ( which are the basis for sustainable development and human survival The agrifood sector is also particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, while the agriculture, forestry and other land use sectors contribute significantly to greenhouse gas ( emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean ( For this reason, it is vital to optimize, coordinate and transfer knowledge in order to increase food production in a context of sustainability and resilience Given the current scenario, there is an urgent need to advocate for the fulfilment of commitments made in international agreements, to negotiate more ambitious emission reduction targets and to allocate technical and financial resources to agricultural production systems in order to implement actions that will help to fulfil the targets set.
