Defining role of agriculture in South Asia
This current draft policy paper by CANSA is meant to stimulate discussion among the member groups of CANSA, and in the process to develop and provide a common platform for lobbying and advocacy efforts at national, regional (SAARC), and international levels in the context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It takes as its starting point the important role of agriculture in the South Asian region and the serious impacts on agriculture anticipated from climate change. It also provides analysis and recommendations for the way forward — steps to be taken by governments at the domestic level and policies and positions to be taken by governments in international negotiations.
