Overview
Measures against climate change are urgently required now in all sectors worldwide. Agriculture and food systems play essential roles in the sustainable development of many regions. They are often affected by climate change significantly while also being one of the major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
With the release of the Working Group II Report on "Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability" and the Working Group III Report on "Mitigation of climate change" of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report in February and March this year, respectively, there has been a growing interest in the adaptation to climate change and the realization of a decarbonized society.
This symposium consists of a keynote speech and two sessions. In Session 1 (NARO-OECD session), the latest IPCC report of the working Group II will be summarized by the world-class researchers, the policymakers, and the OECD-CRP officials. Based on the latest knowledge, we will discuss the compatibility of "adaptation" and "mitigation" for the transition to a sustainable food system. In Session 2 (NARO-FFTC session), based on the Asian regional platform centered on the FFTC member countries, we will discuss advanced utilization methods of climate information to increase the resilience of agricultural production targeting small-scale farmers in the Asian region.
