BookletThe LoGIc tool for developing land representation for national greenhouse gas inventories
Technical guide version 1.4.en.1
2024Also available in:
No results found.Parties to the Paris Agreement are required to submit their national inventory report of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, in accordance with the modalities, procedures and guidelines for the transparency framework for action and support. The guidelines require all countries to report their GHG emissions/removals estimates separately for the land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, using the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. To develop the LULUCF GHG inventory, the land representation information is of utmost importance. This is because it provides the area information for estimating associated carbon stock changes and non-CO2 emissions. While countries can obtain data on land-use classification by using remote sensing information, there is still the need to appropriately process this information to develop a consistent land representation. The LoGIc tool was designed to help governments, national experts and GHG inventory practitioners in developing the land representation, in accordance with the newly adopted common reporting tables for submitting the inventory to the UNFCCC. -
ProjectBuilding National Capacity to Measure, Report and Verify Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Thailand’s Forest and Land Use Sector - UTF/THA/034/THA 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has adopted a forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation mechanism known as “REDD+”, which will provide positive incentives to developing countries to voluntarily reduce their rates of deforestation and forest degradation and increase their forest carbon stocks, as part of a post 2020 global climate change agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 (the “Paris Agreement”). The objective of the project was to support Thailand, in particular the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in establishing a Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL) for REDD+, as well as a Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting (MMR) component of the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS). -
ProjectAdvancing Collect Earth Software Development to Support Countries in Reporting Greenhouse Gas Inventories - UNJP/GLO/1018/WMO 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Within the framework of the UNFCCC, countries report data on GHG inventories at a national level. However, only a few countries currently have the capacities needed for data collection and analysis to ensure consistent and complete land representation of national GHG inventories. To assist countries in this task, FAO introduced Collect Earth, a software designed to aid countries in gathering data on land use activities. In collaboration with the IPCC, UNFCCC and WMO, FAO developed this project with the aim to further enhance the accuracy of activity data reporting for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. FAO and the IPCC agreed to develop a new software module that would enable countries to use the IPCC Inventory Software and the UNFCCC Enhanced Transparency Framework reporting tool in an interoperability mode, which will help improve the transparency and accuracy of national GHG data.
