AFA, through its Indonesia member Aliansi Petani Indonesia or API, participated in activities organized by civil society organizations (CSOs) parallel to the conferences of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC), such as the thirteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 13) and the third session of the meeting of the parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 3), in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia last December 3-14, 2007. API has been invited by some CSOs who organized the parallel activities to UNFCC.
The UNFCCC is an international environmental treaty produced at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), informally known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The treaty is aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gas in order to combat global warming.
As a result, AFA was able to gather more insights and understanding on the issue of global warming as it affects AFA members, project AFA’s and API’s perspectives on climate change and bio fuels as well as AFA’s initiatives that promote sustainable development, and strengthen partnerships with like-minded national and regional groups advocating on climate change issues.
