EC Cooperation: Responding to Climate Change Sector Script for Agriculture and Rural Development

This document was developed by EuropeAid in cooperation with DG RELEX, DG DEV, DG ENTR, DG TRAD and DG ENV with the support of the "environmental integration advisory services" project. It was designed to provide practical guidance on the links between climate change and a specific sector, together with possible responses to climate-related challenges. The purpose of this "script" is to support political dialogue on climate change implications between the European Commission, partner governments and other national partners involved in EC development and external cooperation activities, as well as to facilitate strengthened climate change integration in ongoing and future cooperation programmes and projects, with a focus on developmental benefits for the partner countries.

This sector script is one of a series prepared in a standard format.
