Mitigating agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in China

Status, potential and challenges

This report describes the current state of agriculture in China, focusing on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the relevant climate and other socioeconomic policies that affect its development. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and review mitigation potential of those options. Finally, we identify barriers to implementing these mitigation options and som...read more

Mitigating agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil

Status, potential and challenges

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Brazil with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and avoid emissions through deforestation, and estimate the mitigation potential of those options. Finally, we identify barriers to adopting these...read more

Integrated Assessment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Transformation Pathways towards a Resource-Efficient and Greenhouse-Gas-Neutral Germany

The “SDG Pathways” research project used the iSDG model, which was adapted to German data, to develop an assessment approach for modeling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ambitious climate and resource scenarios up to 2050. The results show that an ambitious climate and resource policy improves the SDG targets overall. The study highlights the differences between dynamic...read more

Information about Techniques to consider in the Determination of BAT for the Intensive Rearing of Cattles

In the project techniques have been presented that can be ‘best available techniques’ (BAT) in cattle farming according to the German Immission Control Act criteria for BAT. The techniques are suitable for reducing environmental impacts. Since the new Industrial Emissions Directive (IED, EU 2024/1785) does not include cattle in its scope, the results will currently have no direct influence on the...read more
