Change Mitigation

Purpose – In order to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it is essential that all industry sectors have the appropriate knowledge and tools to contribute. This includes agriculture, which is considered to contribute about a third of emissions globally. This paper reports on one such tool: IMPACCT: Integrated Management oPtions for Agricultural Climate Change miTigation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – IMPACCT focuses on GHGs, carbon sequestration and associated mitigation options. However, it also attempts to include information on economic and other environmental impacts in order to provide a more holistic perspective. The model identifies mitigation options, likely economic impacts and any synergies and trade-offs with other environmental objectives. The model has been applied on 22 case study farms in seven Member States. Findings – The tool presents some useful concepts for developing carbon calculators in the future. It has highlighted that calculators need to evolve from simply calculating emissions to identifying cost-effective and integrated emissions reduction options. Practical implications – IMPACCT has potential to become an effective means of provided targeted guidance, as part of a broader knowledge transfer programme based on an integrated suite of guidance, tools and advice delivered via different media. Originality/value – IMPACCT is a new model that demonstrates how to take a more integrated approach to mitigating GHGs on farms across Europe. It is a holistic carbon calculator that presents mitigation options in the context other environmental and economic objectives in the search for more sustainable methods of food production.

Prioritizing climate change mitigation measures could help to identify most feasible or most nationally appropriated mitigation actions. This process can also provide important inputs for the development of national climate change strategies or policies. The paper applies Delphi method to prioritize criteria for potential climate change mitigation technology in the metallurgical sector in Vietnam. The consultation process has been done with ten experts in only two cycle to reach Kendall (W) value over 0.5. Then, 11 out of 21 criteria have been selected for Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) in prioritizing mitigation options in iron and steel, lead, zinc, tin and aluminium productions. Mitigation options with highest scores will be proposed for mitigation target of the metallurgical sector which could be inputs for NDC of industrial sector. The selected criteria include 01 indicator in emission reduction (GPT1), 01 indicator in environmental impacts (MT1), 01 indicators in social impacts (XH3), 02 indicators in economic impacts (KT1, KT2), 02 indicators in sustainable development impacts (PTBV1, PTBV2) and 04 indicators in MRV (MRV1, MRV2, MRV3, MRV4).
