The in-session workshop on the identification of adaptation measures, taking into account the diversity of the agricultural systems, indigenous knowledge systems and the differences in scale as well as possible co-benefits and sharing experiences in research and development and on-the-ground activities, including socioeconomic, environmental and gender aspects, was held in Bonn, Germany, on 20 May 2016 in conjunction with the forty fourth session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice. In the presentations and discussions that took place at the workshop, Parties emphasized that the agriculture sector is highly affected by the adverse effects of climate change and highlighted the important role of identifying effective and context-specific adaptation measures in agriculture. Parties noted that successful adaptation in agricultural systems requires the identification of suitable adaptation measures at the regional, national and local scales, while taking into account the diversity and specific contexts of those systems, indigenous knowledge and possible co-benefits.
