Studies on institutional mechanisms for integrating environmental considerations into economic policy making in selected countries of the ESCAP region. They describe the overall policy approach to dealing with environmental issues, examines existing institutional arrangements at national and local levels, and presents some of the challenges countries will have to meet. It must be said that, while the intent may be there, and certain elements have been tackled, few if any of the developing countries in the region have been ale to find a viable institutional mechanism for developing and implementing integrated policies which could be used as a model for others.

Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure. The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, represents a new beginning in the global effort to stabilize the climate before it is too late. It recognizes the importance of food security in the international response to climate change, as reflected by many countries prominent focus on the agriculture sector in their planned contributions to adaptation and mitigation. To help put those plans into action, this report identifies strategies, financing opportunities, and data and information needs. It also describes transformative policies and institutions that can overcome barriers to implementation. The State of Food and Agriculture is produced annually. Each edition contains an overview of the current global agricultural situation, as well as more in-depth coverage of a topical theme."
