FAO urges early action on climate change responses
02.06.2010 09:11 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
"Agriculture can potentially be part of the solution to climate change in ways that respect and support the development and food security requirements of developing countries," FAO has told a UN working group preparing long-term approaches to climate change mitigation.
«However to realize this potential, systematic and dedicated discussions and decisions… are needed to clarify options for actions and related support,» FAO said in a formal submission to the working group.
FAO called for early action allowing agriculture to help reduce and remove greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the atmosphere (mitigation) and to build up the resilience of farming systems (adaptation) to warmer and more erratic weather conditions, predicted for many of the world’s poorest regions.
