Study on the potential of adopting climate change mitigation measures in agriculture of developing countries

这项研究从经济和农民态度的角度考察了实施减轻气候变化影响的措施所需的条件。结果表明：1)采取缓解措施的经济效益并不是很大，这意味着缓解措施并不是采取缓解措施的强烈动机。2)因此，一个基金，或一个基于清洁发展机制的基金结构，对于农民采取行动是必要的。在使用清洁发展机制框架时，我们应该注意到，登记清洁发展机制项目的结果是有区域偏见的，在很大程度上取决于类型或方法的选择。3)农户采取农业缓解措施的意愿因农户特征和风险偏好不同而不同，不同地区、不同国家采取农业缓解措施的效果不同。这些发现表明，在发展中国家推广农业缓解措施的有效方案应该包括积极的财政激励措施，并根据农民的偏好进行修改。

The study examines conditions required to implement measures to mitigate effects of climate change in terms of economics and farmers' attitudes. The results show that 1) the economics benefits of adopting mitigation measures are not large so much, which means that mitigation measures are not strong incentives to adopt the measures. 2) Therefore, a fund, or a fund structure based on CDM, is necessary for farmers to take the actions. In using a CDM framework, we should notice that the result of registering CDM projects is biased regionally and largely depends on the selection of a type or a method. 3) The willingness to adopt agricultural mitigation measures is varied with farmers' characteristics and their risk preference, the effects of which are differed by region or country. Those findings suggest that an effective program to promote agricultural mitigation measures in developing countries should include positive financial incentives and be modified according to farmers' preferences.
