Country Note on Climate Change Aspects in Agriculture |
| description |
This country note briefly summarizes
information relevant to both climate change and agriculture
in Mexico, with focus on policy developments (including
action plans and programs) and institutional make-up. Mexico
is the only developing country to have submitted three
national communications to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), indicating strong
commitment by the government for addressing climate change
across sectors. Agriculture contributes little, in relative
terms, to total green house gas (GHG) emissions and the
emission reduction potential in the sector is small and
primarily focused on methane reduction, though more
diversified carbon trading opportunities can be pursued.
Agriculture is highly vulnerable to weather extremes, in
particular in the Northern parts of the country, where water
scarcity is an issue, or the Southern parts of the country,
where tropical storms caused extensive damage to crop and
livestock production. Reducing vulnerability to climate
change is of utmost importance in the agricultural sector in
Mexico, considering the role the sector plays in food
security and livelihoods of rural populations. |
