Agriculture in Climate Change Negotiations

This "Scoping Paper" from the Meridian Institute, in partnership with an international team of independent expert authors, seeks to present an objective assessment outlining key issues and policy options at the nexus of agriculture and climate change – in particular, issues that could be addressed in international discussions such as UNFCCC. 
The text provides context and analysis for addressing agriculture in international climate negotiations, with the aim of helping to inform climate negotiators and other stakeholders by identifying options and unpacking issues of interest by focusing on agricultural production and food security; early action opportunities; trade; finance; technology transfer and capacity building; and performance and benefits measurement.
