Collaboration

The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA), which has 55 member-countries, provides a framework for cooperation and investment in research activities that support the agricultural sector in meeting the growing demand for food while reducing GHG emissions intensity.

FACCE-JPI and the GRA collaborate at both programmatic and institutional levels. Both initiatives have developed collaborative research actions. In addition, FACCE-JPI became an official Partner of the GRA in January 2017, and the GRA is a member of the JPI’s Stakeholder Advisory Board.
