Agricultural, Food and Forestry Issues in International Climate Negotiations: Setting the Agenda and Challenges
摘要
Since 1992, the UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties (COP) have guided global climate action, but agriculture was initially excluded as negotiations focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From the 2010s, agriculture and food systems gained attention as both major emitters and potential solutions to climate change. States now include agriculture in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for climate action. This chapter reviews the evolution of agriculture’s role in climate negotiations, carbon markets for land use, and the challenges of assessing national commitments, highlighted by the 2023 Global Stocktake.
