Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme

The Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) programme strengthens FAO’s longstanding work to address climate change in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors and supports countries participating in the climate change negotiation processes within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This platform holds various publications, videos, infographics, presentations, and tools that focus on strengthening agriculture and related sectors. The MICCA programme generates technical knowledge, working on the ground and with partners to monitor and assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the mitigation potential in agriculture; develop the capacity of stakeholders working on national GHG inventories and farmers using Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices; carry out life cycle assessments to guide decision making; give guidance on climate change mitigation & adaptation options, including for peatlands and organic soils; mainstream gender in CSA; facilitate online communities of practice; and run online learning events.
