Two economic analysis termed Targeted Scenario Analysis (TSA), commissioned by UNEP’s Vanishing Treasures programme, compared the economic impact of two agricultural scenarios: the ongoing ‘Business-as-Usual’ dominant farming methods which are highly vulnerable to climate change and already experiencing decreasing economic returns, with a Sustainable Ecosystem Management scenario in which climate-smart agriculture integrates sustainable farming practices to address climate challenges.
These policy briefs includes the main results of the TSA and policy recommendations to address those challenges.
