Abstract: The development of climate-smart agriculture in Hubei Province not only responded to the global challenge of climate change, but also met the national strategic needs to promote the construction of a strong agricultural province. By adopting innovative concepts and adaptive technologies, climate-smart agriculture could effectively address the triple challenges of food security, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. However, Hubei Province faced problems such as lack of supporting policies, lagging infrastructure, immature market development and difficulties in data measurement in promoting climate-smart agriculture. In order to achieve the carbon emission reduction target, measures were proposed, such as strengthening the top-level design and mechanism construction of agricultural carbon emission reduction trading, encouraging and promoting the carbon emission reduction demonstration projects of climate-smart agriculture, establishing a platform for sharing the carbon emission reduction results of climate-smart agriculture, and enhancing the agricultural products market value of climate-smart agriculture. These measures were aimed at solving existing problems, promoting the transition of Hubei Province’s agriculture to green, low-carbon and sustainable development, and improving the competitiveness of agriculture in domestic and international markets.

Key words: climate-smart agriculture, carbon emission reduction, sustainable development, realization path, Hubei Province
