Advancing agriculture, forestry and other land use policies: A stocktake of greenhouse gas mitigation efforts

OnlineNov 13, 2024 | 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Description

The agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sectors have significant mitigation potential, as they are among the few sectors uniquely positioned to contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation through both emissions reduction and carbon sequestration. Public policies play a vital role in supporting mitigation efforts and enhancing the capacity to reduce emissions. Decision makers use diverse policy instruments to support AFOLU GHG mitigation efforts. To better understand current mitigation efforts, the OECD conducted a comprehensive stocktake of AFOLU mitigation instruments in OECD member and G20 countries, compiling over 1 300 instruments and strategies. This session will explore how policies can effectively drive mitigation in agriculture. By showcasing examples of policy measures, it aims to raise awareness of existing efforts and discuss additional policy actions needed to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint.

This research assesses the potential of different policies and options to unlock the large mitigation potential of the agricultural sector, while quantifying the economic impacts of these policies on agricultural producers and food consumers. To perform these assessments, two global models and one farm-scale model are used, and the findings are discussed within the context of the existing literature on the global mitigation potential of the agricultural sector.
