The Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme: Monitoring and Assessment of GHG Emissions and Mitigation Potentials in Agriculture

This brief describes monitoring and assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigation potentials in agriculture. It briefly presents the FAO’s approach to developing a database of data and analysis that will facilitate financing through the Green Climate Fund via the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs). It also states that the database will be linked to an online portal that will include information on life cycle analysis of agricultural production systems to allow countries to determine where they can reduce emissions most effectively.
