      abstract = {According to the European Council's recent agreement on  domestic climate and energy goals, greenhouse gas emissions  from sectors outside the EU’s Emission Trading Scheme have  to be cut by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. So far no  decision has been taken on agriculture's specific  involvement in mitigation obligations or on how mitigation  targets would be distributed between Member States. Based  on hypothetical assumptions, we employ the CAPRI model to  illustrate and highlight some potential impacts and  challenges related to an integration of the agricultural  sector into the new EU climate policy framework.
Results of  the hypothetical mitigation policy scenario show important  impacts on EU agriculture, in particular the livestock  sector, if the distribution key of the current Effort  Sharing Decision would be rigidly applied as in our  assumptions. The results highlight the importance of a  targeted but flexible implementation of mitigation policy  instruments in the EU and its Member States, as well as the  need for a wider consideration and adoption of  technological mitigation options.},
