Book (stand-alone)EX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool: Quick guidance 2017
Also available in:
No results found.In order to facilitate the different activities of targeting climate change mitigation in agriculture, decision makers can today choose from a wider range of available greenhouse gas (GHG) tools. These tools follow different main objectives (awareness raising, national reporting, (ex-ante) project evaluation, etc.), cover to a different extent all relevant GHGs as well as agricultural activities and are adapted to different geographical scales (farm, landscape, project, national scale). EX-ACT i s targeted at providing project evaluations, characterized by relatively low data and cost requirements in order to fit with the requirements of a cost-effective investment project design process, as common in agricultural planning. The tool is able to accommodate certain location specificity (Tier 2) and thus exceeds pure Tier 1 functionality. Furthermore EX-ACT can accommodate all agricultural sub-sectors, a wide range of agricultural management practices and all types of GHGs and emission pro cesses in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) sector, as well as for the fishery sector. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by promoting community forestry, removing barriers to sustainable biomass energy, and laying the groundwork for climate change mitigation in Afghanistan”
Project code: GCP/AFG/081/GFF GEF ID: 5610
2020Also available in:
No results found.Afghanistan’s high diversity of rangeland and forest ecosystems provide valuable goods and services for local communities. Unsustainable land and resource management practices, as well as climate changes, are accelerating the degradation of these ecosystems and affecting local livelihoods. FAO recognizes community based natural resource management (CBNRM) and Sustainable Biomass Energy Systems (SBES) as potential tools to address these issues, and implemented the project in the Parwan and Nangarhar provinces between August 2016 and July 2019. The evaluation presents the results of SBES and CBNRM in the project, both of which were succesful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the policy and awareness raising results. It also assesses the security challenges behind the project management decision making, gender issues, and other barriers and risks that may prevent the progress of future projects. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGreenhouse gas appraisal on the adaptation to salinity intrusion project 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This working document presents the results of an EX-ACT Greenhouse Gas appraisal of the "Mekong Delta Integrated Climate Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Project (MD-ICRSL)" conducted with the MD-ICRSL team during the EX-ACT workshop organized by FAO and the World Bank from 14 to 17 June 2016 in Hanoi. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) is an appraisal system developed by FAO providing ex-ante estimates of the impact of agriculture and forestry development projects, programmes and p olicies on the carbon-balance. The project objectives are to improve the capacity of institutions and beneficiaries to manage increasing pressures from climate change (such as seawater intrusion).
