Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Brazil's Agriculture and Livestock Sector

The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Brazil's Agriculture and Livestock Sector is a policy instrument that establishes four fundamental adaptation initiatives: Research, Development and Innovation; Technical Assistance and Rural Extension; Public Policy; and Industry, Trade and Markets. It is based on a Conceptual Framework that considers six strategic axes, three directly related to the management of agricultural systems (Genetic Improvement, Technological Products and Practices, and Integrated Systems) and three indirectly (Climate Forecasting and Territorial Zoning, Financing and Public Policies, and Socioeconomic and Environmental Performance). The strategy is aligned with the ABC+ Plan and other national programs, providing specific indicators to monitor progress in adapting to climate change in the Brazilian agricultural sector.
