Like most countries in Latin America, Venezuela has submitted one national communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) with a second one under preparation. Land use change and forestry are the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the country. The emission reduction potential is large and there are several reforestation programs have been initiated. Venezuela is among the few countries in Latin America without a single clean development mechanism (CDM) project, and carbon trading opportunities can be explored. Agriculture is highly vulnerable to weather extremes. A greater emphasis on developing and applying adaptation and mitigation programs, as well as adequate insurance mechanisms can be placed for better management of public resources in light of natural disasters in the agriculture sector. 2012-08-13T08:44:01Z 2012-08-13T08:44:01Z 2009-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2009/12/12069377/venezuela-country-note-climate-change-aspects-agriculture http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9484 English Country Note on Climate Change Aspects in Agriculture CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Venezuela
