The new online “Learning
tool on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the
agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector” of Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supports the
efforts of developing countries in the identification, development and
implementation of country specific mitigation actions in the context of
national sustainable development.
NAMA is a relatively new concept in the agriculture sectors. For this
reason, substantial awareness-raising and readiness-building is needed.
To address this need, FAO developed this learning tool for guiding
national policy makers, advisers, researchers, private sector and other
stakeholders working in the agriculture sectors (including activities in
crop, livestock, fisheries and forestry management).
Why NAMAs in agriculture sectors?
Agriculture is a crucial socio-economic sector. In many developing
countries, it accounts for a significant portion of the gross domestic
product and employs a large part of the population. Climate change is
likely to have a strong impact on agriculture and poses a threat to food
security.
Agriculture also generates a substantial share of the total
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in many developing countries. Actions to
reduce net GHG emissions in the AFOLU sector provide valuable
opportunities to build on and increase synergies with activities related
to sustainable agricultural intensification, improved farm efficiency,
climate change adaptation, food security and rural development. The NAMA
framework is one of the possibilities that exists to unite actions to
reach many sustainable development goals.
Five parts for different needs
The tool has five modules:
The tool has five modules:
– Module 1 provides an overview of the impacts of climate on
agriculture and the AFOLU sector’s contribution to the total global net
GHG emissions. The module also indicates the synergies between climate
change mitigation, food security, rural development and climate change
adaptation.
– Module 2 introduces the concept of NAMA and situates NAMAs in the
context of global climate change negotiations. Examples of NAMA
initiatives in the agriculture sector are also given.
– Module 3 describes the step-by-step processes for developing NAMAs.
It covers the preparations for concept notes and proposals. It also
addresses topics such as feasibility, technological choices and the
differences between a fast-track NAMA development and a more thorough
NAMA preparation process.
– Module 4 looks at different aspects of monitoring systems and MRV
processes for NAMAs. It reviews how MRV systems assess a NAMA’s impact
on the GHG emissions and the sustainable development benefits it
delivers.
– Module 5 focuses on NAMA financing questions. It covers domestic,
international, public and private financing and elaborates different
criteria attached to NAMA financing by donors, climate funds and
financing institutions.
The tool is also available in English, Spanish and in French. Tailored training are also available upon country requests.
This learning tool is the outcome of a coordinated effort by the
Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme of FAO.
Funding for the development of the tool was provided by the Government
of Finland.
