New publications on REDD+ and Agriculture

Today, the CGIAR Climate program releases four new publications that uncover the links between Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and agriculture. With agriculture a primary driver of deforestation in the tropics, the reports investigate how countries can achieve mitigation objectives as well as food security outcomes.

The briefs are being released at a side event that brings together key players in the agriculture, forestry and rural development research communities, including Peter Holmgren (FAO), Frances Seymour (CIFOR), Lindiwe Sibanda (FANRPAN, Joachim von Braun (ZEF-Uni-Bonn) and George Wamukoya (COMESA).
