Rural Prosperity with Carbon Neutrality and Food Security 24 March 2021 Rural regions have the advantage of not only having the space for solar and wind energy production - which are low-carbon electricity technologies - but also have the potential to generate carbon neutral bioenergy. This scenario sets the opportunity on leading the process towards carbon neutrality. However, rural carbon neutrality does have implications for food security as food-land-nexus complicates the interactions. This webinar - jointly organized by ADB's Rural Development and Food Security (Agriculture), and Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management Thematic Groups, Energy Sector Group, and ADB-PRC Regional Knowledge Sharing Initiative - discussed the opportunities and challenges to help achieve carbon neutrality, while ensuring food security and boosting rural economy.
