Climate change is a growing threat to agriculture: crops, livestock, forestry, fishing. The negative effects on agricultural production and the livelihoods of farmers, foresters and fishermen are already being felt in many places. You`ll only have worse overtime. This infographic brochure aims to provide a clear overview of FAO`s work to combat this threat in order to support sustainable agricultural production and the livelihoods of farmers, foresters and fishermen. The annual report of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) focused on countries` current commitments to reduce emissions. It indicates that, even if current commitments are fully implemented, projected emissions could increase by 2.9 to 3.4 degrees Celsius by 2030 from pre-industrial levels. This is well above the 2C of the Paris climate agreement. She calls it the emission gap. At the Paris Climate Change Conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the world`s first climate agreement, which contains a global action plan to limit global warming to a level well below 2 degrees Celsius. Sustainable agriculture, livestock, fishing and forestry can help countries identify ways to reduce emissions while meeting their goals of food security, resilience and rural development. Here also available in Arabic. The parties stated that they would do a number of things to achieve their objective.
One of the most important is the significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Another promises a considerable amount of money to achieve this. The agreement will be reviewed every five years. In particular, nations are working to reach agreement on an international emissions trading system and a new market mechanism to advance emission reduction projects around the world. Fifty-five countries, or enough to increase global emissions to 55%, were needed before the agreement could enter into force. But what has happened since then? And where do we go next? The story was a bit long and confusing, we know that. That`s why Climate Reality has put together this infographic from Paris to Poland: keeping climate policy on track – to show where we were and what will happen next for global climate action. This means that the agreement has officially entered into force. This graph shows the countries that ratified or signed the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020.
The rejection of the agreement has been repressed by other world leaders and climate experts.
