| Sumario: | The goals of the Climate and Clean Air (CCAC) Agriculture Initiative are to disseminate best practices for
minimizing emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) from agriculture while also enhancing food
security and livelihoods and meeting cross-sectoral climate change objectives.
The purpose of the paddy rice component of the CCAC Agriculture Initiative is to produce technical and policy
guidance for national governments to implement SLCP and other greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation options at
large scales in paddy rice systems while maintaining or improving rice yields.
The paddy rice program will target one country as a regional hub in each of Southeast Asia (Vietnam), South
Asia (Bangladesh), and Latin America (Colombia) to develop initiatives for up-scaling mitigation at the national
level. Up-scaling may entail engaging the private sector and government technical support programs as well as
conducting outreach and public awareness campaigns with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that work
primarily with farmers. |
