Description:... Catalyses thinking about the ways in which agriculture - which has a vital role in global food security, development and natural resources use - can and must be fully integrated into national strategies and a consensus-based multilateral framework to address the challenges of climate change. Brings forth questions that will occupy the world community over the next decade or more regarding the role of agriculture in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Offers some answers and concrete proposals - while recognizing that much more needs to be learned, more questions formulated, and more experience gained, to build an effective strategy to support global agricultural adaptation while harnessing its significant potential contribution to climate change mitigation and taking into consideration development objectives and food security concerns.
