- Project 7 November 2018 Roadmap to Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in the Livestock Sector of Honduras and Nicaragua Livestock farming in Latin America generates high greenhouse gas emissions but is also the main source of income for vulnerable populations that could be most affected by climate change. In Honduras and Nicaragua, the livestock sector is of great economic importance, occupying more than 30% of the territory. It contributes between 10‐18% of GDP, and is the main livelihood for more than 700,000 people. To address these challenges this project aimed at facilitating a shift towards alternative…
