Policy strategies and challenges for climate change mitigation in the Agriculture, Forestry and other Land Use (AFOLU) sectorWebsite
The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector accounts for 23 percent of net global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and without strong policy action to lower these emissions, this share is likely to grow. Governments in a number of countries are taking steps to lower net AFOLU...

Enhancing climate change mitigation through agricultureWebsite
Agriculture, with its growing contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and opportunities to mitigate emissions, can help close the gap between existing global mitigation efforts and those that are needed to keep global warming to between 1.5 °C and 2 °C by the end of the century. Global...

Revising Public Agricultural Support to Mitigate Climate ChangeWebsite
Agriculture generates roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, without major mitigation efforts, agricultural emissions are likely to reach levels that would make meeting global climate targets practically unachievable. Meanwhile, countries that produce two-thirds of the...

Climate change mitigation options in agrifood systemsPDF
The report provides key information on climate change mitigation strategies and effective pathways to achieve sustainable development in agrifood systems. Mitigation efforts are a critical enabler for achieving ambitious climate change mitigation goals and reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally.
