COP23 side event: A framework for agricultural development under climate change
Opening event of the Agriculture advantage side event series at COP23.
Read report back on the CCAFS blog: Setting a vision for agricultural transformation under climate change
Watch the recording of the session on the CCAFS youtube channel.
Most developing countries have emphasised agriculture in their NDCs. Adaptation is the priority, but many countries include mitigation actions as well. With the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and other agencies making large allocations to agricultural actions, it is opportune to rethink agricultural development, so that public investments can leverage much larger private sector investments. This event aims to contribute to shifting agricultural development from business as usual.
