对减缓和适应气候变化的关切导致重新激励农业研究投资，并在世界各地，特别是在发展中国家进一步制定创新优先事项。在不久的将来，新农业措施的发展和技术的适当传播将极大地影响农民适应和减缓气候变化的能力。通过学术期刊出版物和专利数据的输出，我们使用文献计量学方法，评估在减缓和适应气候变化的背景下，新技术和现有技术的研究和开发（R&D）的影响。我们表明，许多发展中国家投入有限的资源用于研发相关技术，这些技术在农业生产中具有巨大的缓解和适应潜力。我们还讨论了一些制约因素，包括基础设施薄弱、研究能力有限、缺乏信贷和技术转让，这些因素可能会阻碍创新在应对气候变化挑战中的应用。还提出了一系列政策措施，以克服已查明的制约因素，并确保实现减缓和适应气候变化的创新潜力。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Concerns about mitigating and adapting to climate change resulted in renewing the incentive for agricultural research investments and developing further innovation priorities around the world particularly in developing countries. In the near future, development of new agricultural measures and proper diffusion of technologies will greatly influence the ability of farmers in adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Using bibliometric approaches through output of academic journal publications and patent-based data, we assess the impact of research and development (R&D) for new and existing technologies within the context of climate change mitigation and adaptation. We show that many developing countries invest limited resources for R&D in relevant technologies that have great potential for mitigation and adaption in agricultural production. We also discuss constraints including weak infrastructure, limited research capacity, lack of credit facilities and technology transfer that may hinder the application of innovation in tackling the challenges of climate change. A range of policy measures is also suggested to overcome identified constraints and to ensure that potentials of innovation for climate change mitigation and adaptation are realized.
