This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Koronivia joint work (KJWA) on agriculture is a decision that was reached at the UN climate conference (COP23) in November 2018, officially acknowledging the significance of the agriculture sectors in adapting to and mitigating climate change. The paragraph 2 of the KJWA decision provides a list of initial elements on which Parties were invited to submit their views. Recognizing that KJWA does not mandate the UNFCCC secretariat to produce a synthesis of submissions made, a number of Parties attending the Dialogue suggested that FAO might provide a factual summary of the submissions. The analysis takes into consideration the 21 KJWA submissions made by Parties and 27 by observers and published by 20th of May 2018 on the UNFCCC submission portal, as well as the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) and Least Developed Countries (LDC) group submissions.

Download or read book Climate Change Cattle and the International Legal Order written by Rebecca Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livestock food systems need to be rapidly rethought to tackle the global climate crisis. This book examines how climate concerns for the livestock sector are governed in international law and addresses the sector's inclusion (or lack thereof) across the international governance of climate change, agriculture, forests and trade. The book provides a wide-ranging analysis of legal regimes at the international level that affect emissions from cattle (and where relevant, livestock more broadly). On this basis, tensions, interactions, and common themes for livestock emissions mitigation across the international climate change, forestry, agricultural and agri-trade regime are identified. This showcases where productive synergies and damaging tensions have emerged across the cross-cutting nature of livestock governance, enabling goals of fairer and more effective emissions mitigation for the sector to be achieved. In addition to addressing issues such as food security and public health, the book highlights the problem of affluence in reducing cattle emissions from meat consumption. This key insight is significant in terms of tackling future livestock emissions trajectories, particularly in relation to securing climate justice within the agricultural sector and securing equitable and effective livestock solutions. The book is a key text for all those with an interest in the legal governance of climate change and agriculture, adding to the timely debate on the future sustainability of the global diet and the relationship between affluence and climate change.
Download or read book Regional analysis of the nationally determined contributions in Asia written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regional analysis provided in this report reflects the dynamism and diversity existing within Asia. Asia is experiencing dramatic demographic changes, high population growth, urbanization and growing economic inequities. The food system in the region varies significantly between and within its many sub-regions in terms of climate, landscapes, ecosystems and farming systems. All of these factors provide the context for climate action at the national level and have shaped to some extent how agriculture is reflected in countries respective National Determined Contributions. This report provides a unique, sector-specific synthesis of the NDCs from Asia. It summarizes the substantial contributions already put forward by countries, opportunities for further action and the gaps, barriers and needs that will need to be addressed if the agriculture sector in Asia is to raise mitigation and adaptation ambitions. The findings of this report will help member countries to reflect on their progress in advancing toward NDC priorities for agriculture and associated national climate goals including related targets under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis also helps to make clear the links between the NDCs from the region and the ongoing work of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in support of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA).

This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication serves as a guide for countries in exploring how reporting for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicators under FAO custodianship serves the scope of compiling information for the biennial transparency reports (BRT) under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF). The paper intends to demonstrate the potential integration of adaptation reporting with SDG and Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) global measurable targets and corresponding indicators to advance towards a common understanding of how to track adaptation while informing progress towards the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA). It is aimed primarily at technical authorities and experts working on monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of adaptation in the agriculture sectors and compiling information to report on adaptation at national and international levels. Secondly, it is aimed at policy- and decision-makers that can use M&E evidence to inform adaptation planning, both in the agriculture sectors specifically and as part of broader national adaptation planning, implementation, and budgeting processes.

Download or read book GOVERNED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE written by DAVID SANDUA and published by David Sandua. This book was released on 2023-05-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Governed by Artificial Intelligence" explores what the future of our society would be like if it were governed by general artificial intelligence. Through speculation and extrapolation, it attempts to depict a scenario in which technology advances at such a speed that humanity is forced to rely on machines to make crucial political decisions. It raises questions about the ethical and social implications of handing over control of our lives and our world to an artificial being. It also seeks to reflect on the capacity of humans to manage this new reality and how far we are willing to go to ensure our survival in an increasingly complex and technological world. One of the main issues addressed is that of responsibility: who will be responsible for the decisions made by Artificial Intelligence? How will it be possible to control and prevent possible errors or failures in the system? What guarantees can we have that Artificial Intelligence will act for the common good and not for its own interests? Such questions have ethical, social, legal, and political implications. The book also addresses the issue of equality and how Artificial Intelligence could affect decision-making and democracy. In short, the book raises important questions about the future of humanity and technology and seeks to explore the ethical and social implications of possible governance by Artificial General Intelligence.
