Climate Change, Agriculture and Trade: Promoting Policy Coherence
October 29 , 2009
Washington, DC
As the global community aims to reach a new international climate change framework, it is also faced with pressing food security needs among the world’s poor. The production
and trade of food and agricultural products will be impacted by climate change, as well as by policy responses to climate change. An increased understanding of the nexus between
climate change, agriculture, food security and trade is required so that greater policy coherence can be attained at both the international and national level.
