What are the most efficient measures of mitigation and adaptation to produce more in a sustainable manner?

Dr . Ada Ignaciuk,Agricultural Policy Analyst, Environmental Division of Trade and Agriculture Directorate, OECDEmail: Ada.Ignaciuk@oecd.org

Scenario analysis- socio-economic developments- climate- technology projections

1) OECD’s short-medium term projections

‘OECD-FAO Outlook’2) OECD’s long term projections

OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook

• Agricultural Outlook - a set of conditional projections published in an OECD-FAO annual report

• Comprehensive, dynamic partial equilibrium model

• Dedicated OECD-FAO web page: www.agri-outlook.org

Co-operators Program

• Involve member governments in global projection process– to link expertise world wide and build consensus on

emerging national and global issues – Participate in annual world commodity projection

– Access to data, models, commodity experts

– Participate in analysis projects

– Access to capacity building – training

– Tap global expertise

Conclusions

• Climate change will affect agricultural production; but still many uncertainties

• To align adaptation and mitigation policies now, across different governance levels

• Holistic approach to climate policies to avoid maladaptation practices

• Climate change may be a challenge for some, but opportunities for others
