Agriculture is one of the important GHG gas contributor globally in general and in non-Annex I countries in specific. There exist several mitigation options in agriculture targeting methane and nitrous oxide emissions. However, farmers often favor those technologies that provide maximum returns per investment (high benefit:cost ratio, BCR) rather...

Biofuels have been rapidly taken up by many countries in the Asia and Pacific region in order to meet their energy demands and developmental needs. Biofuels have been attributed to have advantages such as mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy saving while producing them, and provision of employment. There are several studies...

Biofuels have attracted significant interest because of their potential to reduce CO2 emissions, but the extent to which they can actually do so has not been clearly determined. Nevertheless, many countries in the region have either started producing or have plans to produce bioethanol and biodiesel, and have set long term targets for them to...

The presentation outlines the current climate change impacts on agriculture and water sectors in the Asia Pacific region, assesses the vulnerabilities, and provides an update of what is happening in terms of response to the current and projected impacts including adaptation. Drawing from the analysis of current approaches, the presentation provides...

A trade model is used to analyse the impact of further economic integration on trade in secondary materials...
