From 7 to 18 December the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change takes place in Copenhagen with the aim of agreeing a new global treaty on climate change, a post-2012 successor to the Kyoto Protocol. The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) is present in Copenhagen, working in close cooperation with other sustainable agriculture institutions to advocate the major potential organic farming offers as a climate change mitigation and adaptation strategy.
The full FiBL media release Reducing greenhouse gases, sequestering carbon – Harnessing the potential of organic farming! is available for download at the FiBL homepage.
