A key outcome was the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) to build trust and confidence in countries contributions and security and agriculture face major challenges under Climate change, in terms of expected negative impacts on productivity as well as implementation of sectoral actions to limit global warming.

2 Sustainable farming, livestock-raising, fisheries and forestry can help countries identify opportunities for reducing Emissions while addressing their food security, resilience and rural development goals. Almost 90 percent of countries included these opportunities in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).FAO has developed tools, databases, guidance and learning material to enhance countries capacity in designing, implementing and reporting actions compliant with the Paris avoid serious impacts of Climate change, major reductions in Greenhouse gas Emissions are , forestry and other land usesector contributions to Climate change Data source: IPCC, , For estryand Other LandUse (AFOLU)24%DISTRIBUTIONOF GLOBAL Greenhouse GAS (GHG) Emissions BY SECTORUnit: kilotonne of CO2-equivalentData source: FAOSTAT, 2016 Emissions from agriculture crops & livestockin the last 10 years.
