What should we take away from Cancún?

24 January 2011 - Climate Brief - By : Marion Jeulin / Marion Jeulin

The Cancún Summit, held between November 29thand December 10^th 2010, led to a series of decisions relating to the post-2012 international climate change policy. The outcomes of the December 2009 Copenhagen Accord, negotiated by 28 countries, were legalised within the United Nations framework by its 194 members, with the exception of Bolivia. The continuance and broadening of the market mechanisms introduced by the Kyoto Protocol seems to be well underway, even if many technical and methodology decisions should be further addressed during the Durban Summit in 2011.

Food sovereignty relies on ecological planning

The upcoming food sovereignty conferences are likely to shape debates on the future of French agriculture in 2026. The main responses provided over the past two years can be summarised as follows: remove production constraints to produce more of everything (both animal and plant products), to recover market shares in France and abroad. Seeking to produce more of everything without considering adaptation or transition is a form of denial, at a time when climate change is hitting farmers hard and regularly, and when our dependence on imported fertilisers and oilseed meals undermines our sovereignty. The conferences must take these considerations into account — otherwise, they will serve only to perpetuate the notion of an illusory sovereignty.

Which production assets for more resilient and sustainable agricultural and food sectors? Which investment needs? Which stranded assets?

Les choix d’investissements des secteurs agricoles et alimentaires des années à venir sont déterminants. Pour pérenniser leurs productions et faire face aux crises, les secteurs agricoles et alimentaires français doivent évoluer vers des systèmes plus résilients et durables. L’enjeu est d’autant plus crucial que différentes vagues d’investissements sont en cours ou à venir dans ces secteurs. Dans cette étude, I4CE a estimé qu’environ 100 milliards d’euros d’outils de production agricoles et alimentaires sont affectés par la transition. Une coordination et une planification des investissements semblent incontournables, notamment pour en limiter les coûts.

Financing carbon farming practices: lessons learnt in France can reinforce the EU level initiatives

In a challenging economic and political context, especially for the agriculture sector, some incentive schemes can still help bring stakeholders together in climate transition and resilience initiatives. This is the case with carbon certification schemes, which both ensure the credibility of the climate impact of the actions implemented and provide remuneration for farmers and foresters for changes in practices. Some of these measures, such as replacing mineral fertilisers (mostly imported) with organic fertilisers, also help to meet the sector’s needs for resilience and strategic independence, which are crucial in the current context.
