Agriculture and Climate Change

Meridian Institute,  a nonprofit NGO internationally recognized for convening and facilitating neutral and independent dialogues and assessments,  has been working since 2010 at the nexus of agriculture and climate change, with focus on informing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process.  Meridian has assembled expert authors to develop independent, objective analysis of key issues on agriculture and climate change. Consultations with UNFCCC negotiators, experts, and civil society organizations guided the development of the following reports:

•  Agriculture and Climate Change Policy Brief: Main Issues for the UNFCCC and Beyond
  November 2011
• Agriculture and Climate Change: A Scoping Report
  June 2011

Going into 2012 Meridian Institute will continue to host a series of focused dialogues and to coordinate independent research and analysis on these topics.
