Climate Change Mitigation and Agriculture
This book reviews the state of agricultural climate change mitigation globally, with a focus on identifying the feasibility, opportunities and challenges for achieving mitigation among smallholder farmers. The purpose is ultimately to accelerate efforts towards mitigating land-based climate change. While much attention has been focused on forestry for its reputed cost-effectiveness, the agricultural sector contributes about ten to twelve per cent of emissions and has a large technical and economic potential for reducing greenhouse gases.

Boosting Shared Prosperity in Chad is an update of the 2015 Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD); this update confirms that economic growth and poverty reduction continue to be hindered by the same constraints that were previously identified: weak human capital and a slow demographic transition, low productivity, low incomes from economic activity in rural area...
