To date, the Clean Development Mechanism has overwhelmingly benefited the EMEs, and particularly China, rather than LDCs. This is partly because, given their rapid industrialisation, the EMEs have many more opportunities for mitigation, and partly because they are better placed to meet the governance standards for mitigation to be verified and certified. The sector most adversely affected by climate change is agriculture. Hence, one aspect of adaptation is to reduce the exposure of agriculture to climate change: the other is to reduce the exposure of LDC economies to agriculture.
