Abstract
This policy brief put forward by the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) presents a background summary of the hypothetical country “Tangeria” with accompanying questions/prompts for policy makers. Modelling suggests that because of climate change, Tangeria will face increasingly wet conditions which will affect pasture growth. Severe rains have affected agricultural production along with a greater dependence on maize production to feed the cattle, and low horticultural growth rates. The people of this hypothetical country are worried about the government’s performance in sustaining economic growth. There is a broad consensus that Tangeria must address its emissions profile.
