Ecosystem-Based Adaptation in Agriculture Event

The purpose of this session is to emphasize the strategic opportunity for a progressive agenda on climate change resilience that exists when the agriculture and climate change communities pursue joint programs and strategies. The challenges posed by climate change to agriculture and food systems are too large and the time too short to respond to them through a siloed approach. To this end, the session presents agroecology as ecosystem-based adaptation in agriculture and identifies areas to develop agroecology and ecosystem-based adaptation.
