This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement n° 266018 AN Integration of Mitigation and Adaptation options for sustainable Livestock production under climate CHANGE Background and aims The demand for livestock products is growing and climate change threatens food security and rural livelihoods. Policies that are currently in place may prove insufficient. Livestock systems are a significant contributor to greenhouse gases (GHG) but there is much uncertainty. AnimalChange will for the first time provide a vision of the future of the livestock sector under climate change in Europe, Africa and Latin America. AnimalChange is divided into 6 inter-related components CP 5 supports the data infrastructure of the project and develops statistical methods for uncertainty analysis and stochastic analysis of climate change vulnerability CP 1 establishes the framework of the project by simulating business-as-usual trends in livestock systems assuming that no specific mitigation and adaptation measures are taken CP 2 identifies the most promising cutting-edge mitigation and adaptation options at the animal and field scale and assesses the interactions between these options CP 3 integrates mitigation and adaptation options at farm scale by providing dynamic farm scale models to analyse the sensitivity to climate change and to estimate the ecological and economic efficiency of options CP 4 develops regional and global frameworks for the formulation and analysis of policy options through an iterative process with policy makers to feed back into analytical models CP 6 disseminates project outputs using a knowledge interaction process with key stakeholders to ensure that the outputs from the project are transferred effectively AnimalChange will • • • • • • • Reduce uncertainties concerning GHG emissions from livestock systems. Include climate variability as part of impact assessment. Develop cutting-edge technologies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Assess economic and societal costs of business as usual and of adaptation and mitigation scenarios. Assess the vulnerability of livestock to climate change and feedbacks on GHG emissions. Provide direct support to set up policies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change for the livestock sector. Reach out to stakeholders by organising symposia, training events and forming a network to alert stakeholders of project outputs.
