The potential contribution of the agricultural sector to tackling climate change issues, widely neglected in the past, is now being acknowledged both under a strategic and practical standpoint.
A starting point might be the following figures (WG agriculture, European Climate Change Programme, 2001): in 1990, methane emissions from agriculture were 41% of all CH4 emissions, while nitrous oxide emissions reached 51% of N2O emissions. Together with carbon dioxide emissions agricultural greenhouse gas emissions were about 11% of all greenhouse gas emissions of the EU in 1990.
On the other hand, the absorption potential of agricultural soils could contribute significantly to fulfilling the reduction objective of the EU, which is -8% between 2008 and 2012 from a 1990 base. Considering the above, the 6th Conference Of the Parties (COP 6 bis) held in Bonn in July 2001 considered agricultural soils suitable as sinks for the storage of carbon.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
