This paper offers a concise overview of how bioeconomy can contribute to the climate action strategies outlined in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommendations and nationally determined contributionsi (NDCs) and adaptation strategies. As such, it is a valuable addition to the global stocktake exercise taking place on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, as well as to the FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022-2031iii and the FAO Science and Innovation Strategy.
Specifically, the paper aims to:
1. provide decision-makers with examples of bioeconomy innovations that can support climate change mitigation and adaptation commitments; and
2. raise general awareness on bioeconomy as part of the FAO and global agenda for climate action under the different sectors of agrifood systems and bio-based industries.
