Co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation

The presentation provides an overview of mitigation in the AFOLU sector and the co-benefits between mitigation and adaptation, highlighting that Most of the agriculture practices and technologies allow for co-benefits in terms of food security and nutrition, incomes, adaptation, resilience, etc.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)

The presentation outlines the concept of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation, highlighting the international processes and global agendas for both and rational for harnessing synergies between CCA and DRR.

The presentation was made by Selvaraju Ramasamy, Climate Change Adaptation and DRR Expert for FAO on Day 1 of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Workshop, 5-7 April 2016, Rome, Italy.

NAPs and the Forestry Sector

The presentation gives an overview on the integration of forests and trees in NAPs, climate impacts on forests and possible response measures. Additionally, examples of how forests and trees contribute to resilience and adaptation in other agricultural sectors are also outlined.

Building resilience & reducing vulnerabilities to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector

The presentation gives an overview of adaptation and mitigation in fisheries and aquaculture. It looks at:

  • What is at stake?
  • How can we respond?
  • What are risks and vulnerabilities?

Examples of adaptation and mitigation in FI&AQ The presentation was made by Cassandra de Young, Fishery Policy Analyst, Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, FAO on Day 1 of the Integrating Agriculture in National Adaptation Plans Workshop, 5-7 April 2016, Rome, Italy.
