Adaptation and mitigation in climate risk management in agriculture

Unofficial AI-generated summary based on the public title and abstract. Not an official translation.

🔬研究者:Provides a structured conceptual framework for studying adaptation-mitigation interactions in agriculture, useful for further empirical work.

🏛政策担当者:Emphasizes the need for integrated adaptation-mitigation policies and indirect government support to maintain farmer motivation.

Climate risk management employs two categories of instruments: adaptation and mitigation measures. This exact framework also applies to the agricultural sector. Hence, the primary objective of this paper is to broaden our understanding of adaptation and mitigation, alongside public policies aimed at managing physical and transition climate risks within agriculture. This objective was met by addressing four research questions and substantiating the proposed research hypothesis. The paper takes the form of a monographic review study. The relevant literature was selected through a combination of manual searching, a modified backward snow balling technique, and the use of two artificial intelligence (AI) systems: Gemini and SciSpace. The analysis yields the following conclusions: (1) adaptation and mitigation should be implemented in an integrated manner, given the complementary and substitutable relationship between them; (2) mitigation generally poses a greater challenge than adaptation, as its application and effectiveness rely heavily on transnational, or sometimes even global, cooperation and coordination. In the case of agriculture, its potential is primarily concentrated on crop fertilisation and the scale of livestock production; (3) governments ought to support farmers’ adaptation and mitigation efforts, ideally through indirect means, whilst ensuring that their motivation for pro-climate behaviour is neither undermined nor distorted.
