SupportDescription: <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">What It Is: </span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The FAOSTAT Emissions database provides emissions data with global coverage for the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sectors at IPCC Tier 1 Level, based on official data reported by Member countries to FAO.&nbsp; It facilitates analysis at the national level and provides data needed to fill gaps where necessary to support countries in completing National GHG inventories for the AFOLU sectors.<br /> <br /> <strong>Why It is Useful for NAMAs:</strong> &nbsp;For NAMA preparation, FAOSTAT provides national data for emissions from agriculture (1961-2000) and &nbsp;land use (1990-2011), as well as projections to 2030 and 2050 , enabling analysis at the national level and identification of emissions hotspots and target sectors for mitigation action. &nbsp;Since National GHG inventories are necessary for the development of national baselines and sector analysis, FAOSTAT data can support countries in their NAMA preparation.<br /> <br /> </span></div> <strong style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Background:&nbsp;</span></strong><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">AFOLU activities are important components of climate response action, particularly in developing countries, where agriculture is a major driver of socio-economic development.&nbsp; Improvement of country capacity to analyze and report GHG emissions and mitigation options is essential to better identify opportunities and implement climate response strategies that can enhance productivity and improve resilience of production systems. &nbsp;FAO can support its Member countries to this end as an impartial institution by helping them identify better GHG knowledge and data options that lead to emissions reductions while strengthening their national adaptation, rural development and food security priorities.</span></div> </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <p style="text-align: justify;">FAO is developing a global platform of standardized GHG data analysis tools for AFOLU in collaboration with its Member Countries, and in coordination with other international agencies, to be maintained and distributed within FAOSTAT. &nbsp;It also provides Member Countries with the methodological guidelines and capacity development tools necessary to identify national GHG emissions and mitigation options.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The FAOSTAT Emissions database was launched in 2012.&nbsp; Emissions data are fully consistent with the underlying FAOSTAT information on inputs, production, costs, socioeconomic indicators, trade, and food commodities trends. As a part of FAOSTAT, the Emissions database is a corporate product, with long-term sustainability and regular updates.&nbsp; It also open to member country feedback and suggestions for increased relevance<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: FuturaBT-Book, sans-serif;">.</span>&nbsp; FAOSTAT is a robust international reference for reporting and analysis. &nbsp;There are 55 countries using the FAOSTAT database for quality assurance/quality checking, activity data needs, support for National GHG inventories, and centralized review processes.&nbsp;</p> </span> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> </div>
