Next steps for climate change mitigation in agriculture
In "Next Steps for Climate Change Mitigation in Agriculture," the authors stress the need to examine the most appropriate implementation mechanisms for climate change mitigation in agriculture, and calls for increased guidelines, sources of finance and pilot projects. The report notes that mitigation must have direct benefits for farmers and contribute to food security. It stresses the need for simple, cost-effective methods for measurement, reporting and verification (MRV). Finally, the report stresses that markets are not likely to provide adequate incentives for widespread mitigation practices.
