摘要

农业温室气体排放是全球气候变化的重要因素。在西非，复杂的社会经济和环境动态使这一问题更加复杂。本研究评估了2015年至2020年间16个国家政府和政策举措在减少农业温室气体排放方面的有效性。通过将定量和定性方法与生态政治评估相结合，研究确定了政策努力如何影响排放结果。尽管面临挑战，贝宁和佛得角等国已经实现了排放水平的减少或稳定，说明了因地施策的潜力。该研究强调了有效的政策措施，并通过比较框架探讨了区域差异。研究结果展示了可持续农业的可行途径，并为气候政策、机构能力建设和区域合作提供了有针对性的建议。总体而言，研究结果为政策制定提供了信息，并有助于采取符合全球承诺和区域现实的气候行动。

Effectiveness of governmental and policy initiatives in reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions: An empirical analysis of West Africa

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture significantly contribute to global climate change. In West Africa, this issue is compounded by complex socio-economic and environmental dynamics. This study assesses the effectiveness of governmental and policy initiatives in mitigating agricultural GHG emissions across 16 countries between 2015 and 2020. By integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches with eco-political evaluation, the research identifies how policy efforts influence emission outcomes.

Despite challenges, countries such as Benin and Cape Verde have achieved reductions or stability in emission levels, illustrating the potential of context-specific strategies. The study highlights effective policy measures and explores regional disparities through a comparative framework. Results demonstrate actionable pathways to sustainable agriculture and provide targeted recommendations for climate policy, institutional capacity-building, and regional cooperation. Overall, the findings inform policy development and contribute to climate action aligned with global commitments and regional realities.

期刊介绍： Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
