1. The Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change FACCE-JPI Meeting Date Speaker

2. Outline: 1-FACCE-JPI remit and governance 2- Implementing the FACCE StrategicResearch Agenda (SRA)

3. 1- FACCE-JPI remit: great challenges and governance

4. A perfectstorm • A "perfectstorm" offoodshortages, scarcewaterandinsufficientenergyresourcesthreaten to unleashpublicunrest, cross-borderconflictsandmassmigrationaspeoplefleefromtheworst-affectedregions. • Prof. John Beddington, UK Chief Scientific Adviser

5. European and global challenge

6. Food Security The loomingcrisis • Global shortage of food, water and energy • - global wheat stocks at lowest since 1970s • - price spikes, food riots in 2007-08 • 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change • Population and income growth • Biofuels Stock to use ratio, % of all grains and oilseeds Source: Thirtle, unpublished

7. Two Goals of Our Time • Achieving Food Security • 1 billion hungry • Food production to increase 70% by 2050 • Adaptation to Climate Change and dwindling natural resources critical • 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

8. 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 compartmentalisationof public research funding in the EU Aligningnational programmes to minimise duplications, bringcritical mass, best use limitedfinancialresources Identifynational priorities and providecoherencebetweenMember States New ways of workingtogether

9. FACCE-JPI greatsocietal challenges

10. FACCE-JPI 21 Partners • Austria • Belgium • Cyprus • Czech Republic • Denmark • Estonia • Finland • France • Germany • Ireland Israel Italy The Netherlands Norway Poland Romania Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey UK • Observers: • European Commission • SCAR

11. A three stage process • Development of a Common Vision with long term objectivesHow 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 • 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 • SRA implementationidentifying and exchanging information; joint foresight and technology assessment; joint research activities/modalities; infrastructure; EU/global aspects; public-private partnerships; needs of consumers and industry

12. FACCE-JPI permanent governance(adoptedFebruary 2012) • GB • FACCE-JPI Decision-making body • Communication with national actors • WorkingGroups 1 Chair, 2 Vice-Chairs • Meetings 3/year • 5000 € entry fees • Secretariat • Executive body • Proposes strategy • Management • JPI coherence • Links with ERA-NETs for implementation • (+CSA) • SAB • Scientificadvice, ScRA, identification, evaluation of JPI activities • 12 high-level experts • 1 Chair + 1 Vice-Chair • Meetings ≥ 2/year • StAB • Stakeholderadvice on strategic documents and on joint actions • 22 memberorganisations • 1 Chair + 3 Vice-Chairs • Meeting ≥ 2/year

13. 2- Implementing the FACCE StrategicResearch Agenda (SRA)

14. StrategicResearch AgendaLaunchedDecember 5, 2012 • Based on ScientificResearch Agenda • One integrated document takingintoaccount: • Vision paper • Stakeholder Consultation • Meetings withfunders and scientists: Mapping meetings • Workshop with ERA-NETs • Detailed discussions of corethemes: SAB + invited experts • Foresight (SCAR) • Inputs of GB and AdvisoryBoards • 5 coreresearchthemeswith short-, medium- and long-term actions • Available

15. 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

16. TowardsImplementation of the SRA (1) : Joint Actions • Pilot Action: MACSUR (CT1) • International Call on GHG Mitigation (withUSA, Canada, New Zealand) (CT5): launchedJanuary 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) : launchforeseen July 2013 • Possible Joint call withERA-Net BiodivERsAon Agriculture and Biodiversity (CT3)

17. TowardsImplementation of the SRA (2) : • Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on Alignment -> Outputs: 4 alignmentcategories • Creation of an Ad Hoc Working Group on ERA-Nets and Horizon2020 • Creationof an Ad Hoc Working Group on Implementation-> Outputs: topicssubmittedto the EC for 1st work programme of H2020 • Alignmentand ImplementationWorkingGroups meeting (May 28th): • Implementation Plan (2013-2015) to beadopted in June

18. Method for establishing an Implementation plan: Alignment categories • A cross-cutting approach between: • Short-term priorities in each core theme • National programmes, mapped and • distributed within alignment categories X • Much research/all or many countries  Alignment, e.g. through Knowledge Hubs • Avoid duplication, create critical mass, data and model sharing • 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

19. FACCE-JPI Implementation Plan A key support document for: • Input into H2020 Work programmes • Topics for collaborative projects • Topics for new ERA-Nets • - Topicsfor infrastructures Alignment of national programmes (e.g. areas/topics for Knowledge Hubs)

20. FACCE-JPI achievements: WG on Alignment Mapping meetings / coretheme Political issues Common vision Workshops with ERA-NETs Scientific Inputs (SAB) WG on ERA-NETs in H2020 Stakeholder Inputs (StAB) WG on Implemen-tation StrategicResearch Agenda International call on GHG Mitigation with USA, CA, NZ (CT5) Preparation of a common call with ERA-Net Biodiversa (CT3) Preparation of an international call on Food security and land use change (CT1) Knowledge Hub on Modeling of the impacts of Climate Change on Food Security (CT1) ERA-NET Plus on Adaptation of agriculture (CT4) Implementation of the SRA Implementation plan 2013 - 2015
