Countries Forge Ahead on Mitigation in Agriculture Despite UNFCCC Delays - Climate Change Policy & Practice (IISD)


Although UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture are on hold, agricultural mitigation is already an objective for many developing countries.

CGIAR Climate's insight:
Op-ed by Lini Wollenberg, CCAFS Theme Leader for Pro-Poor Mitigation:

"Although UNFCCC negotiations on agriculture are on hold, agricultural mitigation is already an objective for many developing countries. National governments are moving quickly to plan agricultural development that also leads to climate change adaptation and mitigation, which is crucial in a sector that is so vulnerable to climate impacts, but also responsible for 14 to 24% of global emissions. As a result, new policy mechanisms and tools are being put into use with some promising, recent developments."
