NO This document seeks to provide guidance and recommendations for policymakers to increase ambition in nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement using the climate change mitigation and adaptation potential of a transition to sustainable food systems. These recommendations are meant to serve as a starting point for discussions, future development, and to provide a clear way towards measurable, actionable outcomes within their nationally determined contributions. The text notes that agriculture, forestry, and land-use sectors account for nearly one quarter of total global emissions. Adopting a holistic food system approach allows policymakers to identify synergies between environmental objectives and socio-economic priorities, aiming for a more comprehensive strategy to address global emissions.
