Integrated analysis of mitigation and adaptation options for sustainable livestock production in the context of climate change (AnimalChange)
The project "An Integration of Mitigation and Adaptation Options for Sustainable Livestock Production under Climate Change", known as AnimalChange, is focused on research about mitigation and adaptation options aimed at the sustainable development of animal production in Europe, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. The program's specific goals are as follows: quantifying and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock systems; assessing the impacts, adaptation and vulnerability of livestock systems to climate change; developing and assessing innovative technologies for the climate change adaptation and mitigation; studying and quantifying the (trade-off) commitments and agreements concerning adaptation and mitigation options; surveying the potential social and sectoral costs and benefits from such options in the livestock sector; assessing animal production's vulnerability to climate change and GHG emissions; and providing support to mitigation and adaptation policies for the livestock sector through computational tools.
