Description
In light of the renewed commitment to the UN Paris Accord made by the Biden administration in the U.S., the Climate Plan in Canada, and the Green New Deal in the EU, this session will focus on the impacts of country-specific climate change policies on agricultural production, trade, global food security and competitiveness. The findings of a recent ERS study that analyzed the impacts of the EU Green New Deal under various scenarios will help set the stage.
