Challenge

While more than 70 countries included livestock as a priority in their Nationally Determined Contirbution (NDC), there is often a lack of capacities to develop robust Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) mechanism allowing to set and monitor meaningful target, and a lack of enabling policy environment. As a consequence, the contribution of livestock to climate solutions is often not achieved to its full potential.

Solution

FAO has developed tools to support MRV and decisions responding to climate change. In particular, the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model-interactive (GLEAM-i) is one of these tools.
GLEAM-i is the open and free on-line version of the FAO Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model. It is an online and user-friendly calculator of productivity, feed use and GHG emissions along livestock supply chain, from feed cultivation and transport to animal husbandry, and primary product transformation. It applies to all countries and production systems. GLEAM-i can be used by governments, project planners, producers, industry and civil society organizations to calculate emissions using IPCC Tier 2 methods. GLEAM has been used by FAO for project and investments formulation, including to develop technical assessments of World Bank operations (e.g. PRAPS 2 in the Sahel, PRODEL project in Cameroon), IFAD projects (e.g. in Ethiopia, Kenya and Lesotho) as well as by other Financing Institutions (coupled to other tools like Ex-Act or LSIPT).

Impact

GLEAM-i provides estimates of GHG emissions and can be used to identify the most promising technical entry points to reduce emissions and improve productivity. Users can compare emissions, production and feed use between baseline and scenarios in the preparation of national inventories and in ex-ante project evaluation for the assessment of technical improvements in animal husbandry, feed and manure management.
