The geographical distribution of climate finance for agriculture por Hoogzaad J, Hoberg J, Haupt, F.

“…The bulk of mitigation finance in 2010-2012 from carbon markets went to reducing N2O emissions from fertilizer production, followed by using agricultural residues as a biomass energy source, or as a source of biogas and reduced tillage projects. Ethiopia was the single largest recipient of dedicated adaptation finance (USD 25 million in 2010, 2011 and 2012) A broader approach to climate finance that supports sustainable intensification, more resilient agricultural practices and low emissions development over the long-run would support more stable and evenly distributed investment.…”
