1背景与发达地区预期的净影响相比，气候变化将对贫穷的发展中国家产生不成比例的影响，这是由于今天已经脆弱的地区受到更严重的气候影响，加上适应预测威胁的整体能力不足。农业和其他相关活动对保障粮食安全和为世界上大多数农村穷人-包括小农和自给农民、林区居民、牧民和渔民-提供生计至关重要，这些活动尤其面临风险。在这方面，应对气候变化也是一个公平问题。这是因为，迄今为止，大多数温室气体排放都是在发达国家产生的，而那些面临最大风险的国家一般无法获得适应和减轻相关气候变化所需的资源。因此，必须确定发展中国家农村贫困人口如何能够更有效地进入不断扩大的碳市场，以便调动必要的财政资源和能力，在今后几十年中减少其脆弱性。
1 BackgroundClimate change will have a disproportionate impact on poor developing countries—compared to the expected net effects in developed regions—due to a combination of more severe climatic effects in areas that are already vulnerable today, coupled to poor overall capacity to adapt to the projected threats. Agricultural and other related activities, fundamental to safeguarding food security and for providing livelihoods to the majority of the world’s rural poor—including smallholder and subsistence farmers, forest dwellers, pastoralists and fisher folks—are particularly at risk. Responding to climate change is, in this respect, also an issue of equity. This is because the majority of the greenhouse gas emissions have so far been generated in developed countries, while the resources necessary to both adapt to and mitigate the associated climate change are in general not available to those most at risk.Within the framework of international climate policy and its associated mechanisms, it is therefore imperative to identify how rural poor in developing countries could more effectively access the growing carbon market, in order to mobilize the financial resources and capacity necessary for reducing their vulnerability in coming decades.
