Abstract

type="graphical" xml:id="euch12081-abs-0101"> This article aims to illustrate policy issues surrounding attempts to develop greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policy in a small region – Northern Ireland – with a relatively large agri-food sector of strategic economic importance. A common difficulty faced by many regions is that proposals to legislate mitigation targets may not be based on a technically and economically feasible strategy to deliver emission reductions at reasonable economic cost. We demonstrate the contribution that economic analysis can make to promote and inform discussion of the economic and environmental trade-offs. We consider critically proposals to adopt similar GHG mitigation frameworks as other parts of the UK, in particular taking account of the interdependency of different sectors in the regional economy.
