Adaptation Initiative
The effects of changing weather and
climate present new challenges for farms, forests, and ranches.
Regardless of its causes, the impacts of climate change will need to be
addressed in order for agriculture and forestery to continue meeting the
world’s growing demand for food, feed, fiber, shelter, and fuel.
Because of this, the 25x’25 Alliance has formed its Adaptation Work
Group composed of agriculture, forestry, business, academic, and
conservation leaders. Together, this group is exploring the impacts of a
changing climate on the agriculture and forestry sectors and developing
recommendations on ways for producers, policymakers, and other
stakeholders to adapt.
Carbon Energy for Economic Growth Initiative Incentive-based rate structures, such as Standard Offer Contracts, Renewable Energy Payments, and Feed-in Tariffs, have become the most widely used policies in the world for accelerating renewable energy development. Their success has been demonstrated in countries like Germany where the policies have contributed to rapid increases in renewable energy, accounting for 28% of their overall power and enabling over 200,000 farmers to become energy producers. Recognizing the immense potential of these policies, the 25x’25 Alliance has launched its Distributed Energy Initiative to explore how they might be used to accelerate economic development and distributed renewable energy generation through rural utilities and other power providers that serve agricultural communities.
