5. Climate change adaptation and markets: RESILIENCE
Understand market systems dynamics and identify leverage points
-> Formal market systems (export commodities): example of certification schemes
-> Traditional food market systems: example of collective action and public policy
Then…climate smart planning and
implementation
Scale systems dynamics -> food market systems informal traditional markets identify leverage points for collective action; food safety standards nutrition, post-harvest losses, external shocks (short-term vs long term) informal private sector, align; makes business sense public policy and collective action

6. Markets and mitigation
Agricultural carbon markets
Combining market development with conservation
Zero-deforestation in formal value chains
43% of total Co2 emissions originate from land clearing for agriculture; compliance or voluntary market; clean development mechanism

7. Thank you! Conclusions Resilience is key
Leverage points will be dependent on market system
Be climate smart in planning and implementation
Thank you!
