The 17th United Nations Conference of Parties (COP 17) Durban South Africa November 28th to 9th December 2011
As compared to previous CoP where agriculture was even not on the agenda, the parties in Durban have agree to make a decision on agriculture at CoP 18. This is less than most people hoped for, which is to have a specific work programme on agriculture. However, as result of tremendous technical and advocacy and lobby work made by agricultural stakeholders, the UNFCCC Subsidiary Board of Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) has now agriculture officially on its agenda.
