Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool | EX-ACT
Mainstreaming greenhouse gas accounting into agriculture investments and policies
2019Also available in:
No results found.The 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement tied the knot between sustainable economic development and a climate-resilient, low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions future. Moving forward, accounting for potential changes in GHG emissions will be a vital component of any agricultural investment, project, or policy proposal under consideration by any country, institution, or organization. To support the international community’s efforts with quantifying changes in GHG emissions, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT). Based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology, EX-ACT provides its users a consistent way of estimating and tracking the impact of agricultural, forestry, and other land-use (AFOLU) investments and policies on GHG emission levels. EX-ACT is a free, open-source, Excel-based model and is available in all UN languages, as well as Bahasa, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and German. -

Applied Work. EASYPol Module 121
2012Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach. -
