NATIONAL MITIGATION ACTIONS IN AGRICULTURE THAT WILL BENEFIT FOOD SECURITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

National Mitigation Actions in Agriculture That Will Benefit Food Security and Climate Change

The infographic demonstrates that agriculture sectors' mitigation potential is recognized by 86% countries in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Therefore, climate change mitigation potential of agriculture needs to be unlocked in a timely manner to address the emission gap and keep the temperature increase below 2°C limit. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) provide a mechanism for supporting countries to implement their INDC and achieve a number of SDGs by enhancing agricultural productivity, supporting food security and rural development while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
