At the SBSTA 42 (The 42th Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice), there was rich exchange of views on the topics of in-session workshop among the Parties. And draft conclusion (FCCC/SBSTA/2015/L.2) was adopted through the contact group meetings. Agriculture is a distinctive area of issues on food security and economies of most countries, in particular developing countries, as it has suffered from undesirable negative climate change impacts. Early warning systems (EWS) are essential to ensure the sustainability of agricultural systems, safeguarding the food production capacity and welfare of people related to agriculture directly or indirectly. Hence, it is the key component of any adaptation strategy. EWS should be integrated into information and communication technology (ICT) affordable and appropriate to local situation. The UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) should promote, in collaboration with relevant international organizations, measures to support adaptation of agro-ecosystems to the adverse effects of climate change. Korea had submitted its opinion on the development of early warning systems in relation to extreme weather events. The SBSTA 42 took note of the views submitted by Parties during the two insession workshop held at this session, and agree to consider the reports on those workshops at SBSTA 43. Also, it will continue its works referred to in paragraphs 87 ~ 89 of document FCCC/SBSTA/2014/2.
