Abstract: type="graphical" xml:id="euch12084-abs-1111">

Although agriculture is a relatively emissions-intensive sector in many countries, it is unlikely to be centre stage in upcoming negotiations on a climate change agreement to be held in Paris in December 2015. Nevertheless, the agricultural sector is a major user of energy. It is therefore likely to be affected by higher costs in upstream and downstream industries resulting from domestic policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). National differences in emissions reduction commitments and their implementation may result in different implicit prices for carbon across countries.
