Towards a work programme on agriculture: a submission to the AWG-LCA by the FAO
This submission examines agriculture in the context of the climate change negotiations. It also underlines the importance of early discussion on the scientific, technological, and methodological aspects of agricultural mitigation within the Subsidiary Body on Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) to the more policy-focused work on agriculture under the AWG-LCA and to readiness action at country level, funded through fast start resources. This submission aims to support UNFCCC Parties in their consideration of possible future work on agricultural mitigation through possible elements of a future work programme, should Parties wish to pursue this.
