Resumen
Descripción
We evaluate the potential impacts and measure the potential limits of adaptation of agriculture
to climate change. Pressures on land and water resources are expected to intensify existing risks
in low latitude areas – e.g., South-East Asia deltas – and in regions with current water scarcity – e.g.
Mediterranean, and create new opportunities in some northern temperate areas – e.g., Northern Russia,
Northern Europe. The need to respond to these risks and opportunities is addressed by evaluating the costs
and benefits of a number of technical and policy actions. The discussion aims to assist stakeholders facing
the adaptation challenge and develop measures to reduce the vulnerability of the sector to climate change.
