NDC and the Paris Agreement
                                       • NDCs are submitted every five years to 
                                         the UNFCCC secretariat. In order to 
                                         enhance the ambition over time the 
                                         Paris Agreement provide that 
                                         successive NDCs will represent a 
                                         progression compared to the previous 
                                         NDC and reflect its highest possible 
                                         ambition.
                                       • All Parties are requested to submit the 
                                         next round of NDCs (new NDCs or 
                                         updated NDCs) by 2020 and every five 
                                         years thereafter (e.g. by 2020, 2025, 
                                         2030), regardless of their respective 
                                         implementation time frames.
                                       • Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, NDC-2 
                                         should be submitted before 
                                         01.11.2021

           Koronivia Work on Agriculture
     •  The    Koronivia   Joint   Work     on 
        Agriculture  (KJWA)  adopted at COP23 
        in  November  2017  (UNFCCC,  2017; 
        Decision 4/CP.23) 
     •  It is a landmark decision that recognizes 
        the role of agriculture and food security 
        in the fight against climate change. 
     •  The KJWA will work on six topics 
        related to soils, nutrient use, water, 
        livestock, methods and approaches to 
        assess adaptation and socio-economic 
        and food security impacts of climate 
        change across the agricultural sectors
