Descripción
Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to the rural development goals. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on selected World Bank and Government of Morocco-supported projects under the Moroccan Green Plan (PMV1). The projected estimates of the impact of projec t activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the recommended agricultural practices can be twofold with respect to climate change: actions aiming at improving resilience to climate change (adaptation) and actions that have a beneficial impact on carbon sequestration (mitigation).
