Long-term climate mitigation policies for the agri-food sector
Project
Project code: TI-KB-08-PID2375
Contract period: 01.01.2021
- 30.04.2025
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The European Green Deal and the Farm-to-Fork strategies highlight the importance of market-based instruments to alleviate climate change. A quantitative assessment of different instruments is crucial for successful climate policies.
Agriculture is not only a victim of climate change, but can also contribute to climate mitigation. On the one hand, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture could be substantially reduced; on the other hand, agriculture could play an essential role in carbon sequestration. Yet, what market-based instruments are required to facilitate both processes? And what implications do these instruments have on production, trade, welfare and carbon leakage? This project aims to provide a quantitative assessment of alternative instruments to ensure the successful and cost-effective implementation of climate-protecting strategies in agriculture.
Focusing on preselected market-based instruments to protect climate, the project will provide a quantitative assessment of the alternatives not only with respect to their effects on greenhouse gas emission, but also with respect to their effects on production, markets, and welfare. Furthermore, the results obtained with the CAPRI and MAGNET models will be developed into concrete implementation paths
