All actors are called together to oppose climate change. Different attitudes, along with the introduction and dissemination of sustainable resources’ managing systems are necessary to reduce the risks and tone down the human-induced effects on climate change. Climate change will have dramatic repercussions on agricultural and economical stage in Europe. Agriculture interferes with planet climate change; on the other hand, it is heavily affected by climate change: a mutual link, dangerous to planet sustainable development. Goals : be aware of the mutualism “agriculture – climate change”. Make private and public actors of the agriculture sector sensitive to the possible production consequences caused by this interaction. Improve forecasting – and preventing systems of natural risks affecting agriculture (network). The project includes: study phase, transnational exchange of experiences, observation, information, dissemination through new products (DVD, code of attitudes, Declaration…). Expected Results: The ACCRETe project targets the following results: - Establishment of a transnational network to examine how agriculture interferes with climate change in the partner regions, publication of the collected data, - Informing, promoting and disseminating through three thematic work groups to change attitudes and raise awareness of the link between climate change and agriculture, also involving local actors, - Code of Attitude for farmers (on DVD). This presentation summarises risks for agriculture which are due to climate change. It will also promote attitudes which should help reduce human-induced impact on the climate, - A Transregional Declaration of Intent: “Transregional Understanding ACCRETe”. All partners will sign the declaration and show that they are firmly willing to follow up with research, co-operation, support of sustainable agriculture and activities related to the issues, - An awareness-raising campaign to inform citizens about risks which are due to climate change. Repercussions in agriculture will be stressed in particular.
