This country note briefly summarizes information relevant to both climate change and agriculture in Bolivia, with focus on policy developments (including action plans and programs) and institutional make-up.

Land use change and forestry, coupled with agriculture, are by far the largest contributors to green house gas (GHG) emissions in the country.
