Exploring the links between Climate Change, Agriculture & Development: A briefing paper

This policy brief outlines the intersection of climate change, agriculture, and development, arguing that project-based initiatives are insufficient and that coordinated, policy-integrated action is required to address global food security and environmental services.

• Agriculture is identified as both a significant driver of global warming and a sector that will be heavily impacted by it, while simultaneously facing increasing pressures to ensure global food security and protect environmental services.
• Current climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts are often limited by being project-based; the document asserts that effective responses require coordinated action across stakeholders, integration into government policy-making, and a consideration of trade flows and production impacts.
• Climate change challenges must be analyzed in conjunction with other development processes, including migration, urbanisation, de-agrarianisation, and globalisation.
