An analysis of the potential of proposed actions for achieving mitigation goals in least developed countries (LDCs) is presented as a tool to understand the differing degrees of impact that certain policies can have, depending on national contexts. Grouping countries based on the urgency of need, highlights the countries that should benefit first from financial support to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions. A better understanding of the target climate actions in the agricultural sectors can help FAO determine the best roadmap to support and collaborate with LDCs in this endeavour.
