There is a strong scientific consensus that human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions exacerbate climate change. Governmental policies must aim to reduce GHG emissions, because climate change is a threat to environmental and human health. This document follows on PAN’s 2023 report, Pesticides and Climate Change: A Vicious Cycle. 3 A shortened version of the recommendations from the report are presented. However, with recent changes in US policy, progress towards reducing GHG emissions may only take place internationally or in certain US states. 4 5 Government funding for climate change research and reporting on GHG inventories should continue, so that policies to limit GHG emissions are informed by current scientific research. All areas of agriculture have management options that will reduce GHG emissions.6 Fertilizers are widely acknowledged as an agricultural input that significantly contributes to GHG emissions.7 Pesticides are also a major agricultural input that contribute to GHG emissions. Pesticides contribute to climate change throughout their “life cycle,” including the extraction of their base materials (fossil fuels), manufacturing, packaging, transport, application, environmental dispersion and disposal. However, there is less available information on pesticides’ contributions to GHG emissions, as this area is not as well studied. The discussion here and in the previous report focuses on agricultural crops, though livestock production also emits GHGs and is adversely affected by climate change as well.
