From Global Commitments to National Action: A Closer Look at Nationally Determined Contributions from a Food and Land Perspective. 2022 Update.
The FELD Action Tracker as a strategic initiative of the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU) tracks developments around food and land use, globally and in key countries. Ahead of COP27, the FELD team updated and expanded its systematic analysis of nationally determined contributions issued in the previous year. The updated analysis applied a sharp focus on what concretely NDCs provide in terms of explicit priorities, commitments and targets related to food and land use, and the extent to which they focus on action and implementation follow up in countries and across sectors. The analysis also expanded its scope from an original set of 15 NDCs in 2021, to now 24, including all G20 members, key forested, FOLU and other key countries, together representing nearly 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
