Relevance to FAO work
o Climate change threatens our ability to achieve global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development;
o Has both direct and indirect effects on agricultural productivity (changing rainfall patterns, drought, flooding and the geographical redistribution of pests and diseases);
o Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity are a significant driver of climate change;
o Elevated CO2 causes oceans acidification, influencing the health of our oceans and livelihoods.

FAOSTAT Climate Change-relevant Statistics
o Climate Change statistics support enhanced transparency under UNFCCC Paris Agreement, i.e. for National Determined Contributions (NDCs);
o FAO contributes to UNECE/UNSD on CC Relevant Statistics;
o Recent FAO work on Climate Change Indicators: Piloting current set of indicators;
o New: FAOSTAT Temperature Change (with NASA);
o Focus on communication of results to non-specialized users.

FAO emissions database: Addressing different data analysis needs
o Facilitate National, Regional and Global analyses: regional comparisons and trend analysis for AFOLU, including IPCC assessment reports;
o Fill data gaps and QA/QC procedures: Support member countries report under UNFCCC, addressing data gaps and needs in data QA/QC; e.g. a reference, Tier 1 data framework for analysis of AFOLU GHG trends for all countries–EU 28 QA/QC in 2014;
o Explore policy-relevant emission indicators in support of analyses linked to resilience, food security, including SDGs processes (UNSD/UNECE);
