Albania

This country note for Albania is part of
series of country briefs that summarizes information
relevant to climate change and agriculture for four pilot
countries in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) Region, with
a particular focus on climate and crop projections,
adaptation options, policy development, and institutional
involvement. The note series has been developed to provide a
baseline of knowledge on climate change and agriculture for
the pilot countries (including Albania) participating in the
Regional Program on Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change
in ECA Agricultural Systems. For Albania, this note was
shared with the Government and other agricultural sector
stakeholders, and used as an engagement tool for the
National Awareness Raising and Consultation Workshop on
reducing vulnerability to climate change in Albania s
agricultural systems, held in Tirana in May 2009. Feedback
and comments on the note from this consultation process have
been incorporated into this updated version in collaboration
with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer
Protection (MoAFCP).
