| Impact |
The outcomes of the project will help World Bank better account for climate co-benefits in livestock investments. They will also inform national climate strategies by providing evidence on the role of livestock for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The technical assistance provided by FAO includes training on low-emission development strategies for livestock through the use of the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model-interactive (GLEAM-i). GLEAM-i is a tool that estimates livestock GHG emissions following a life cycle assessment approach. It uses the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Tier 2 methodology and generates baseline and improved scenarios of herd management (including reproduction and health), feeding and manure management systems. The project is part of the FAO programme of work on technical assistance to funding institutions on low carbon livestock investments. |
