Synopsis (short abstract) ABC-Map was designed with the specific objective of holistically assessing the environmental impacts of national policies, plans and investments in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector through Google Earth-based satellite imagery. ABC-Map helps to develop synergies and trade-offs between climate, biodiversity and land restoration actions. The adaptation section helps to understand exposure to climate change risks and to assess climate change over time in a given area. The biodiversity section covers a series of indicators that are intended to complement each other and provide a more comprehensive view of pressures and impacts on biodiversity. The carbon section aims to account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the AFOLU sector and work towards their reduction. The overall objective of this flyer is to inform readers (i) what ABC-Map is, (ii) it's structure, and (iii) ABC-Map's partners.

    ABC-Map was designed with the specific objective of holistically assessing the environmental impacts of national policies, plans and investments in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector through Google Earth-based satellite imagery. ABC-Map helps to develop synergies and trade-offs between climate, biodiversity and land restoration actions. The Adaptation section helps to understand exposure to climate change risks and to assess climate change over time in a given area. It includes a climate and geophysical profile with, for example, information on temperature and precipitation trends over the past 40 years. The Biodiversity section covers a series of indicators that are intended to complement each other and provide a more comprehensive view of pressures and impacts on biodiversity. These indicators are average species abundance, land use change in protected areas and key biodiversity areas, and natural capital. The Carbon section aims to account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the AFOLU sector and work towards their reduction. The Carbon section is similar to the Nationally Determined Contributions Expert Tool (NEXT), it takes into account the evolution of the carbon stock, the carbon balance and the social value of carbon. The objective of this technical manual is to provide users with (i) the detailed structure of ABC-Map, (ii) its methodological background, and (iii) the different data and factors used such as emission factors and default carbon stock values, reference values from ESVD, GLOBIO, climate and geophysical datasets among others.

    ABC-Map a été conçu dans le but spécifique d'évaluer de manière holistique les impacts environnementaux des politiques, plans et investissements nationaux dans le secteur de l'agriculture, de la sylviculture et des autres utilisations des terres (AFOLU) à l'aide d'images satellite basées sur Google Earth. ABC-Map aide à développer des synergies et faire des arbitrages entre les actions climatiques, la biodiversité et les actions de restauration des terres.   La section sur l'adaptation permet de comprendre l'exposition aux risques liés au changement climatique et d'évaluer le changement climatique au fil du temps dans une zone donnée. La section sur la biodiversité couvre une série d'indicateurs destinés à se compléter mutuellement et à fournir une vision plus complète des pressions et des impacts sur la biodiversité. La section sur le carbone vise à rendre compte des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) dans le secteur des AFOLU et à œuvrer en faveur de leur réduction. L'objectif global de ce dépliant est d'informer les lecteurs (i) sur ce qu'est ABC-Map, (ii) sur sa structure, et (iii) sur les partenaires d'ABC-Map.
