Abstract/Description
The Breakthrough Agenda was launched by 45 world leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021 and is a commitment to work together to accelerate innovation and the deployment of clean technologies, making them accessible and affordable for all by 2030.
The ‘2024 Breakthrough Agenda Report: Agriculture’ is the first standalone report to focus on agriculture within the Breakthrough Agenda series. This report draws on CGIAR’s and global stakeholders’ expertise to assess the status of international collaboration toward implementing sustainable practices in agriculture, and to propose clear recommendations for sector-specific actions that governments and non-state actors need to take together.
The report focuses on the two greatest sources of GHG emissions within the agrifood sector – fertilizers and livestock – and explores four concrete technologies for reducing emissions and had its first physical launch at the Baku Climate Action Week on October 1st 2024. It complements the IEA Breakthrough Agenda Report, which was presented at the Clean Energy Ministerial in Brazil on October 2nd, 2024.
