DocumentOther documentEvaluation of carbon stocks of domestic wood products to improve carbon sinks in the forest sector
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Harvested Wood Products (HWP) is recognized as a carbon pool in the forest sector, along with biomass, dead wood, litter and soil. There was a debate about which country should include carbon stocks in imported or exported HWP. At the 17th Conference of the Parties in Durban (COP17) in 2011, domestic harvested wood products were accepted as accounted carbon pools and thus have to be reported by all Parties included in Annex I. Although the HWP carbon calculation method related to this has been suggested since the IPCC 2006 guidelines, it could not be calculated due to the lack of HWP statistics data in Korea.
In this study, to estimate the carbon stock and the annual stock changes for each of the HWP categories. Input data on the production of wood products used in the model to estimate carbon emissions and removals from HWP in Korea were acquired from database of the 'Wood utilization survey report' and 'Statistical yearbook of Forestry' in Korea Forest Service. In particular, statistic data on production of sawnwood, wood-based panels and paper and paperboard were obtained for the period 1989–2019. It used the first order decay function with default half-lives of 35, 25 and two years, respectively. For the conversion of wood volume or weight into carbon the default conversion factors and half-lives provided by IPCC guideline. As a result of the calculation, it was estimated that about 0.7 million tCO2 was stored according to the use of domestic wood products in 2019. It is expected that it will be possible to quantify the carbon storage effect of HWP and to activate the use of wood products. Indeed, it could change if life expectancy of HWPs improves into the future. Furthermore, additional mitigation potential may be achieved when substituting emissions-intensive materials.

ArticleJournal articleFlow analysis of industrial wood to determine cumulative changes in carbon stocks in wood products
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Carbon storage in harvested wood products (HWP) is an internationally recognised measure to mitigate climate change. However, due to lack of reliable and transparent data on production and trade of HWP, carbon accounting in HWP is complicated. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provides guidelines for reporting countries on how to estimate carbon stocks and their changes in HWP with the use of default or country-specific data as well as accounting methods so that countries can choose an accounting method depending on data availability.The main goal of this work is to analyze the flow of industrial wood in Lithuania and to determine the carbon stocks and their quantitative changes in wood products. We estimated carbon storage in HWP by applying different methods and compared the results. The estimates for Lithuania showed that carbon stock in HWP differs significantly when different methods are applied. The annual carbon inflow and the annual change in carbon stocks are significantly higher (92%) when the analysis of wood flow was used to the accounting of these indicators, compared with statistics data on the production of wood products. This difference was due to the classification of domestically produced raw timber and generated wood waste into country-specific categories of industrial wood products. The increase in the change in carbon stocks was also due to the adjustment of country-specific half-lives. Keywords: Carbon storage, Harvested wood product, Climate change ID:3486859 -
DocumentOther documentWood industry analysis using Korean standard certification statistic
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Wood have a carbon storage capacity. The increase in wood use reduces carbon emissions and responds to climate change. The result, the development of the wood industry leads to sustainable development. Therefore, the development direction of the wood industry was suggested using the KS certification scheme. Industrialization is based on standardization. The first 43 standards were established in 1962 by the Korea Standards Bureau. Currently, there are about 20,000 Korean Standards (KS). In 1963, Incandescent lamps received the first KS certification. Korea Forestry Promotion Institute is the only KS certification institute in the wood sector. Korea Forestry Promotion Institute was designated as a KS certification institute in 2015. From 2016 to the present, about 200 cases have been certified for 33 items. I have analyzed the wood industry based on the statistics obtained from the KS certification scheme. The First, KS certified auditors audit nonconformities in factory audits. I presented nonconformities as statistics. I analyzed the quality control capabilities of wood companies with these statistics. I think this is a challenge for the Wood Industry to solve. The second, I checked the quantity of products that have received KS certification every year. Changes in demand for KS certified products were confirmed by changing the quantity of KS certified products. Keywords: Monitoring and data collection ID: 3623080

Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
