‘Climate-Smart Agriculture’: the Emperor’s new clothes? – CIDSE Discussion paper, October 2014 (available in EN – ES – FR – PT)
This document argues that there is a real risk with the current concept of ‘climate-smart agriculture’ as being promoted by the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture and other actors of the international community. It also highlights concerns and flaws identified in the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture before suggesting alternative elements and principles which should be at the heart of initiatives truly dedicated to tackling the climate and food crises.
