The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) will organise both an exhibit booth to display the most recent research outputs, and coordinate the side event "Agriculture and mitigation: Towards low emissions development".

Panelists will discuss how to support mitigation in the agricultural sector, drawing on recent policy developments at the national level, mitigation priorities that also address adaptation, and emerging tools for the quantification of GHGs and prioritization of mitigation options.

After the session, we welcome participants to join us for a cocktail reception.
