Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Land use projects are especially exposed to the insecurities regarding the future of international climate change regulations. Therefore, it is imperative that the long term structures of the climate change framework are settled as soon as possible, including the reconsideration of the existing crediting schemes as the appropriate remuneration approach for AFOLU projects in developing countries. This second publication in the MICCA series aims to set the global agricultural mitigation survey ( as presented in the first publication) in context. The AFOLU MP database is a compilation of publicly available data on mitigation projects in agriculture and forestry, and this paper describes, first, the analysis and output of the database and, second, which implications can be derived for the development of mitigation activities in agriculture and forestry.

    Second assessment of the current status of land-based sectors in in the carbon markets

    This paper presents the second analysis of the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Mitigation Project database. This follow-up study includes 575 projects from 12 dierent registries. As with the first publication, this paper summarizes the insights that have been gained from the analysis of the updated database. The updated database concerns trends already identified in the previous paper, but it also notes certain changes. The regulatory markets continue to dominate carbon markets. Vol untary carbon projects make only a small contribution to the total. Many issues for smallholder terrestrial carbon projects still remain to be resolved, and agriculture soil carbon projects remain marginal. To support terrestrial carbon projects, an integrated landscape approach should be considered in policy making.

    Learning tool on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector 2015
    Also available in:
    The learning tool for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) in agriculture and land use consists of a set of slides including different modules for independent studying. The tool reviews pathways for NAMA identification (i.e. fast track and in-depth analyses) and prioritization of different greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction options. It also displays required interventions to overcome barriers and presents available sources of data and funds. The learning tool showcases exist ing databases and tools for GHG estimation, and provides options for identification, prioritization and monitoring of mitigation actions in the agriculture and land use sectors.
