Mapping Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals from the Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry Sector at the Local Level
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry sector (LULUCF) are estimated and reported in National Communications to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). By definition, the LULUCF sector is a “greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induce...
متن کاملCreating a Role for Agriculture and Forestry in Emerging Carbon Markets
Encouraging agricultural and forestry carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas mitigation is a necessary tool to meet U.S. emissions targets at minimum cost, but implementation challenges have relegated the agriculture and forestry sector to a marginal role in national and international cap-and-trade and energy policies, including those currently being discussed by U.S. legislators. However, the...
متن کاملAnalysis of global emissions , carbon intensity and efficiency
greenhouse gas (gHg) emissions from agriculture, including crop and livestock production, forestry and associated land use changes, are responsible for a significant fraction of anthropogenic emissions. using data from a new gHg global database developed at FAO, we focus on global indicator trends in the agriculture sectors, in relation to the carbon intensity of key food commodities. in partic...
متن کاملEx-ante greenhouse gas balance of agriculture and forestry development programs
EX-ACT (EX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool) is a tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It provides ex-ante measurements of the mitigation impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, estimating net C balance from GHG emissions and Carbon (C) sequestration. EX-ACT is a land-based accounting system, measuring C stocks, stock changes per unit of ...
متن کاملThe FAOSTAT database of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, including crop and livestock production, forestry and associated land use changes, are responsible for a significant fraction of anthropogenic emissions, up to 30% according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Yet while emissions from fossil fuels are updated yearly and by multiple sources—including national-level statistics ...
