Descripción
SBSTA 38 (Bonn, June 2013) exchanged views on issues relating to agriculture and “invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit their views 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. This should take into account the diversity of the agricultural systems and the difference in scale as well as possible adaptation co-benefits”. In addition to this explicit consideration of agriculture under SBSTA, there are also a number of side and parallel events, including the Global Landscape Forum (a two-day parallel event), specifically addressing agriculture and climate change. There are also agenda items (under SBSTA, SBI, ADP and COP) dealing with aspects of adaptation, mitigation and means enabling implementation that are of direc t relevance to agricultural adaptation and mitigation at country level. This guide highlights these agenda items. It is indicative rather than exhaustive and targets generally participants interested in agriculture and more specifically participants from partner country Ministries of Agriculture, supported by the EC-FAO Project on Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA).
