BookletPublic expenditure analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector: a case study of Kenya
Experiences of integrating agriculture in sectoral and national adaptation planning processes
2021Also available in:
No results found.This document presents a proposed methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector (PERCC) and its application to a case study of Kenya. The document starts by explaining the basic methodological concepts, classification, and labeling of public expenditures that allow calculating spending in agriculture-related to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Next, the document applies the methodology to public expenditures in Kenya to analyse how agricultural spending policies help, or hinder, Kenya’s climate change adaptation and mitigation. -
Book (series)Public expenditure analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector – A case study of Uganda 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents a methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector. It outlines the basic methodological concepts, including the classification of public expenditures in the context of their links to climate change adaptation and mitigation. It also illustrates how such analysis can usefully contribute to policy decision making to better achieve the climate change adaptation and mitigation goals using the case study of Uganda. The proposed classification allows for analysing the level and the composition of public expenditures that influence adaptation capacity of the sector to climate change, and actions that increase or decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in agriculture. This, in turn, allows for assessing whether the sector is stimulated in a way that allows achieving a country’s climate change adaptation and mitigation objectives and form a basis for further evaluation of the effectiveness of individual measures in reaching these objectives. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetClimate change mitigation and harvested wood products: Lessons learned from three case studies in Asia and the Pacific 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Harvested wood products (HWP) from sustainably managed forests can store carbon, increase the availability of biomass for the production of biofuels and substitute for more resource intensive products. Sustainable production of HWPs can contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The length of time carbon is stored in HWPs can be increased through re-use and recycling. Modeled scenarios suggest that increased re-use and recycling of sawnwood and paper could substantially increase carbon stocks. Carbon stocks in HWPs can also be increased through production of longer-lived products. Modeled scenarios, using data from India, suggest that, without changing harvest levels, HWPs in India can store an additional 151 million tonnes of carbon (i.e., an increase of 12 percent) if wood use was shifted from wood pulp based products to solid wood products. Scenarios run using data from Papua New Guinea suggest a potential increase in carbon stocks of up to 23.1 percent from a 30 percent increase in sustainable production of HWPs. Increased data precision can support improved estimates of the carbon stocks in HWPs. Computer simulations based on data from Viet Nam confirm the importance of high-quality data to inform effective decision-making.
