The Platform and Climate Change 2009

An overview poster of the Platform’s publications and events on climate change.

A key challenge facing the world today is how to double food production to feed 9 billion people by 2050, achieve poverty reduction through agricultural growth, while minimising greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and adapting agriculture to a warmer world with more extremes of weather.

Meeting this challenge will require greater understanding of the impacts of climate change on agriculture, as well as major investments to help farmers contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to prepare for the impacts of climate change on their livelihoods.

The Platform aims to support the ARD community towards this imperative.

The Platform’s work on agriculture and climate change:

• Advocating for the inclusion of provisions for investments in agriculture in developing countries in the emerging climate regime, and
• Sharing knowledge between ARD stakeholders to ensure that their climate change investments meet the standards of aid and development effectiveness.
