Social Dimensions of Mitigation
• Technologies for mitigation– Efficiency– Productivity – Profitability
• Policies for mitigation– Climate Finance mechanisms– Carbon and GHG sequestration payments
Social Dimensions of Mitigation• Current system– Weak integration of smallholders in formal
markets– No incentives to reduce GHG emissions– Incentive for productivity, but several barriers
exist– Social organization affects change
• Technical practices done in social contexts• Different practices work in different contexts
Social Dimensions of Mitigation
• Production practices shaped by – Social distribution of
• Labor• Resource control• Benefit
– Value chain organization• Access to inputs• Standards imposed by formal processors• Technical support• Social, financial, and technical barriers
Social Dimensions of Mitigation• Research activities– Analyse value chains, social institutions, and
HH dynamics affecting technical practices• What barriers to upgrading do different types of
producers face and how can these be overcome?• Which practices work for which producers?• What are enabling factors of practices and drivers of
technical change?
Social Dimensions of Mitigation• Research activities– Analyse value chains, social institutions, and HH
dynamics affecting technical practices– Identify policy mechanisms to incentivize
practices:• More profitable dairy production• Reduction of GHG emission factors• Rural development goals
Social Dimensions of Mitigation• Research activities– Analyse value chains, social institutions, and HH
dynamics affecting technical practices– Identify policy mechanisms to incentivize
practices
• Impact activities– Assessment of LED dairy technologies– Development of dairy NAMA
