The recent international conference on climate change COP23 (6-17 November 2017 – Bonn, Germany) saw progress in negotiations on agriculture with a decision paving the way for concrete technical and scientific recommendations to help promote climate action on the ground. 

The decision addresses issues such as adaptation, soils, nutrient use and livestock management, as well as socio-economic and food security dimensions.  

For further information on the agricultural aspects discussed at the event, see the ‘three takeaways for climate, forestry and agriculture’ and a briefing on EU agricultural policy and climate goals, produced by the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).
