The in-session workshop on improved livestock management systems, including agropastoral production systems and others, was held in conjunction with the UNFCCC Climate Dialogues 2020. Experts from Parties, international organizations, the private sector, research organizations, civil society and constituted bodies under the Convention as well as farmers presented experience and challenges and barriers in relation to achieving a transformation in agriculture that leads to improving livestock management systems, and engaged in in-depth discussion on the potential, co-benefits and synergies with multiple objectives involved in improving such systems. The workshop provided the opportunity to begin discussing options for increasing synergy and collaboration among stakeholders, while highlighting that farmers must be at the centre of all discussions and decision-making on climate change, agriculture and livestock management.
