GLOBAL LOCAL
CSA pursues the triple objectives of sustainably increasing productivity and incomes, adapting to climate change and reducing GHG emissions and enhancing removals where possible
Climate-smart agriculture, forestry and fisheries (CSA)
Most of them allow for co-benefits in terms of food security and nutrition, incomes, adaptation, resilience, etc.
Co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation
a holistic approach for all
agricultural sectors, and their
correlation with food security and
other human needs, would
improve the effectiveness of
actions undertaken to manage
climate change by addressing
intrinsically linked challenges as one
FAO’s submissions to the UNFCCC on Issues relating to agriculture, for consideration at SBSTA 44 in May
2016, call for an holistic approach for agricultural sectors
