FACCE-JPI MACSUR feeding into COP26
Modelling European Agriculture with Climate Change for Food Security: the Science-Policy Knowledge Forum (MACSUR SciPol Pilot) will be present at the UN Climate Change Conference UK 2021 (COP 26).
The MACSUR SciPol is a pilot initiated by the Joint Programming Initiative for Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) to bring science and policy actors together for the institutionalized responses to climate change adaptation and mitigation challenges in the agri-food sector in Europe. The pilot aims to provide evidence-based policy support for achieving carbon neutral agriculture in Europe. MACSUR SciPol pilot partners will represent in two side events at the COP 26.
