The Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change FACCE-JPI Meeting Date Speaker Outline: 1-FACCE-JPI remit and governance 2- Implementing the FACCE Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) 1- FACCE-JPI remit: great challenges and governance A perfect storm • A "perfect storm" of food shortages, scarce water and insufficient energy resources threaten to unleash public unrest, cross-border conflicts and mass migration as people flee from the worst-affected regions. • Prof. John Beddington, UK Chief Scientific Adviser European and global challenge Food Security The looming crisis Global shortage of food, water and energy - global wheat stocks at lowest since 1970s - price spikes, food riots in 2007-08 Stock to use ratio, % of all grains and oilseeds Source: Thirtle, unpublished Food price rises in 2007/08 Some causes • Low global stocks • Increased demand: biofuels • Harvest failures Future drivers • Increased cost of fuel/ fertiliser • Lack of agriculture R&D investment • Climate change • Population and income growth • Biofuels Two Goals of Our Time 1. Achieving Food Security – 1 billion hungry – Food production to increase 70% by 2050 – Adaptation to Climate Change and dwindling natural resources critical 2. Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change – ”2 degree goal” requires major emission cuts – Agriculture and Land use = 30% of emissions... – ...and needs to be part of the solution New and strong emphasis on agricultural research is vital for sustainable global development Joint Programming • Addressing major societal challenges that cannot be solved solely on the national level, and allowing Member States to participate in those joint initiatives where it seems useful for them (voluntary participation with variable geometry) • Benefits of research are not optimised due to compartmentalisation of public research funding in the EU • Aligning national programmes to minimise duplications, bring critical mass, best use limited financial resources • Identify national priorities and provide coherence between Member States • New ways of working together 8 FACCE-JPI great societal challenges 9 FACCE-JPI 21 Partners Austria Belgium Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Ireland Israel Italy The Netherlands Observers: Norway European Commission Poland SCAR Romania Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey UK 10 A three stage process 1. Development of a Common Vision with long term objectives How cooperation and coordination of research at EU level can address the combined challenges of food security against the continuous threat represented by various scenarios of climate change, global population growth and food / non-food demand 2. Translate it into a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) Establishing medium to long-term research needs and objectives in the area of food security through adaptation to and mitigation of climate change in agriculture 3. SRA implementation identifying and exchanging information; joint foresight and technology assessment; joint research activities/modalities; infrastructure; EU/global aspects; public-private partnerships; needs of consumers and industry FACCE-JPI permanent governance (adopted February 2012) GB SAB Scientific advice, ScRA, identification, evaluation of JPI activities 12 high-level experts 1 Chair + 1 Vice-Chair Meetings ≥ 2/year FACCE-JPI Decision-making body Communication with national actors Working Groups 1 Chair, 2 Vice-Chairs Meetings 3/year 5000 € entry fees Secretariat Executive body Proposes strategy Management JPI coherence Links with ERANETs for implementation (+CSA) StAB Stakeholder advice on strategic documents and on joint actions 22 member organisations 1 Chair + 3 Vice-Chairs Meeting ≥ 2/year 12 2- Implementing the FACCE Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) Strategic Research Agenda Launched December 5, 2012 • Based on Scientific Research Agenda • One integrated document taking into account: – – – – – – – Vision paper Stakeholder Consultation Meetings with funders and scientists: Mapping meetings Workshop with ERA-NETs Detailed discussions of core themes: SAB + invited experts Foresight (SCAR) Inputs of GB and Advisory Boards • 5 core research themes with short-, medium- and longterm actions • Available 5 core-themes: 1• Sustainable food security under climate change, based on an integrated food systems perspective: modelling, benchmarking and policy research perspective 2• Environmentally sustainable growth and intensification of agricultural systems under current and future climate and resource availability 3• Assessing and reducing trade-offs between food production, biodiversity and ecosystem services 4• Adaptation to climate change throughout the whole food chain, including market repercussions 5• Greenhouse gas mitigation: nitrous oxide and methane mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sector, carbon sequestration, fossil fuel substitution and mitigating GHG emissions induced by indirect land use change Towards Implementation of the SRA (1) : Joint Actions • Pilot Action: MACSUR (CT1) • International Call on GHG Mitigation (with USA, Canada, New Zealand) (CT5): launched January 28th 2013 • ERANET Plus on « Climate Smart Agriculture: Adaption of Agricultural Systems in Europe » (CT4) • International call with the Belmont Forum on « Food Security and Land Use Change» (CT1) : launch foreseen July 2013 • Possible Joint call with ERA-Net BiodivERsA on Agriculture and Biodiversity (CT3) Towards Implementation of the SRA (2) : • Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on Alignment -> Outputs: 4 alignment categories • Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on ERA-Nets and Horizon2020 • Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on Implementation -> Outputs: topics submitted to the EC for 1st work programme of H2020 • Alignment and Implementation Working Groups meeting (May 28th): Implementation Plan (2013-2015) to be adopted in June Method for establishing an Implementation plan: Alignment categories - - A cross-cutting approach between: Short-term priorities in each core theme X National programmes, mapped and distributed within alignment categories Much research/all or many countries Alignment, e.g. through Knowledge Hubs Avoid duplication, create critical mass, data and model sharing 2. Some research/ some countries Alignment at thematic or geographic level Enhance regional or thematic clusters, capacity building 3. Lack of research New calls (H2020, ERA-NETs, new transnational calls) Strengthen European research effort, create synergy 4. Emerging research topics Ideas lab, workshops Enhance innovation and breakthrough technologies 1. FACCE-JPI Implementation Plan A key support document for: Alignment of national programmes (e.g. areas/topics for Knowledge Hubs) Input into H2020 Work programmes Topics for collaborative projects Topics for new ERA-Nets - Topics for infrastructures FACCE-JPI achievements: Political issues Common vision Scientific Inputs (SAB) Mapping meetings / core theme Workshops with ERA-NETs Strategic Research Agenda Stakeholder Inputs (StAB) Implementation of the SRA Knowledge Hub on Modeling of the impacts of Climate Change on Food Security (CT1) International call on GHG Mitigation with USA, CA, NZ (CT5) ERA-NET Plus on Adaptation of agriculture (CT4) WG on WG on WG on Alignment ERA-NETs in Implementation H2020 Preparation of an international call on Food security and land use change (CT1) Preparation of a common call with ERA-Net Biodiversa (CT3) Implementation plan 2013 - 2015 20 Next steps: FACCE-JPI Implementation Strategic Research Agenda Implementation plan 2013 - 2015 needs Knowledge Hub Alignment Regional alignment Exploratory workshop Common call with existing ERA-NET Topics for WP New ERA-NET New Infrastructure Horizon 2020 21 Thank you for your attention!
