At COP28 countries recognized that unprecedented adverse climate impacts are increasingly threatening the resilience of agriculture and food systems and ability to produce and access food in the prevailing scenario of mounting hunger, malnutrition, and economic stresses. As a result, over 150 countries have signed the Declaration On Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Sys tems, And Climate Action committing to expedite the integration of agriculture and food systems into climate action and, simultaneously, to mainstream climate action across our policy agendas and actions related to agriculture and food systems (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), 2023). Currently, there is no concrete framework and approach available at the country level on how to support this integration process. Thus, in this paper, we are proposing a conceptual framework to undertake such an integration analysis of key national level climate change related and agri culture policy documents. Using Tajikistan as a case study, we identify synergies and existing gaps and provide recommendations on strengthening sectoral integration to achieve climate change goals. In the year 2022, 55 percent (402 million) of the people in the world affected by hunger, were living in Asia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people who could not afford a healthy diet increased globally, and significantly in Asia. Unemployment, high incidence of climate shocks, poverty, income inequality, food price inflation, and the decline in foreign currency re serves have engendered the lack of affordability healthy diet (Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) et al 2023).
