The document discusses approaches to long-term adaptation planning in agriculture. It outlines five principles for sustainable food and agriculture according to international agreements. Guidelines are provided to address agriculture in National Adaptation Plans, including conducting climate scenario analysis, assessing vulnerabilities and risks, identifying adaptation options, and prioritizing options based on food security and poverty reduction. The document also describes an FAO program supporting 11 countries on adaptation planning and a Thematic Working Group to facilitate peer learning on implementing climate adaptation and transformation in agriculture sectors.

2. 5 Principles for Sustainable Food and Agriculture
2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Addis Ababa Action Agenda
Paris Agreement
The way forward for agriculture
 Improving efficiency in the use of resources is crucial for sustainable agriculture;
 Sustainability requires direct action to conserve, protect and enhance natural resources;
 Agriculture that fails to protect and improve livelihoods, equity and social well-being is unsustainable;
 Enhanced resilience of people, communities and ecosystems is key to sustainable agriculture; and
 Sustainable food and agriculture requires responsible and effective governance systems.

•Has the process to formulate and implement NAP started at the national level?
•Key Ag sectors aware of the process?
•What are Ag sector challenges?
•What are existing key strategies links to climate change and the Ag sectors?
•Who are the stakeholders in climate change and Ag issues?
•Existing plans and resources to address capacity gaps in the NAP-Ag planning
•What coordination mechanisms are needed?

8. Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans
Flagship Programme
Objective | To identify and address climate change adaptation measures for the agriculture sectors in relevant national
planning and budgeting processes through the formulation and implementation of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP).
Global Programme Budget: USD 17 million Donor | BMUB Partner | UNDP
Supporting Countries on NAPs (11): Colombia, Gambia, Guatemala, Kenya,
Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Uganda, Uruguay, Viet Nam and Zambia

9. Thematic Working Group (TWG) on
Agriculture, Food Security and Land Use
With the aim to:
•Support NDC implementation
•Facilitate a peer to peer network for countries and international
organizations
•Explore opportunities of transformational change and paradigm
shift in the agricultural sectors
The story so far…
•Two TWG workshops held
•E-discussion on adaptation
•TWG workplan 2018 under review
•Goal to present the results of the TWG during
COP24 in Poland
• A country-led pilot group under the NDC
Partnership
• Facilitated by FAO in close collaboration with
the NDC-P Support Unit

11.  TWG workplan 2018 will give detailed modalities
Groups are divided by themes, allowing focused
exchanges along a ‘common thread’
 Exchange via email and skype calls
 Group-owned online depository for documents
 Per session and group, a one page brief on:
 Learning outcomes
 Success stories to share
 P2P diary: reflections on the P2P learning experience during
the session
 The brief will be shared with the full group and feed
into a peer-to-peer learning synthesis report
