Policy approaches for bioenergy development in response to climate change: A conceptual analysis

This review paper explores policy approaches for integrating bioenergy into agricultural practices to address climate change. It examines existing national and international policy frameworks, analyzes the potential synergies between bioenergy and agriculture, and identifies challenges and opportunities for bioenergy development. A conceptual model for policymakers is proposed, emphasizing policy instruments, stakeholder engagement, and monitoring frameworks to optimize bioenergy outcomes. The model underscores the importance of holistic approaches tailored to specific contexts. By prioritizing sustainability, equity, and inclusivity, policymakers can unlock the transformative potential of bioenergy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, enhance climate resilience, and promote sustainable development.
