“Synergy between Adaptation and Mitigation 
in the Land-based Sector: Best Practices from 
Indonesia and Elsewhere” 
Official Side Event UNFCCC COP 20 -Lima, Peru 
Friday, 5th December 2014; 16:45-18:15 
Venue: Room Sipan
NAMAs: 
Any action that reduces emissions in 
developing countries, prepared under the 
umbrella of a national governmental 
initiative. Policies directed at 
transformational change within an economic 
sector, or actions across sectors for a 
broader national focus. Supported and 
enabled by technology, financing, and 
capacity-building and aimed at achieving a 
reduction in emissions relative to 'business 
as usual' in 2020.

Agricultural and forest NAMAs 
FORESTRY 
 Reducing Emissions from Deforestation 
and Degradation

of degradation could links with 
agricultural intensification and CSA 
 Avoiding emissions 
increase efficiency of agricultural 
equipment and operations, reduction of 
fuel consumption, 
use of alternative energies

Carbon footprint is expressed as the 
amount of kg of CO2e emitted to produce 
one kg of a product 
Carbon footprint = kg CO2e / kg dried cacao

Characterize the various producing regions and vegetation types 
Cacao AFS typologies and technical protocols, management 
prescriptions, actual practices (establishment trajectory) and 
producers’ profiles 
Opportunity costs and trade-offs that can relate carbon balance to 
benefits for each context 
Identify local technical and insititutional barriers for mitigation and 
adaptation 
Integrate sectorial planning in land use planning activities 
(Macro/Meso /Micro)
Conclusion 
• Agricultural NAMAs can be part of the 
solution to implement long-term land based 
mitigation strategies 
• Agricultural NAMAs can be fine-tuned to be 
locally adapted and enhance 
mitigation/adatpation synergies across scales 
• Land use planning is the link to switch from a 
sectorial perspective to a landscape 
integrated perspective

Editor's Notes

  1. The concept of NAMAs was introduced in the Bali Action Plan 2007 as:
  2. The main activities dealing with forestry concern the reduction of deforestation, reafforestation. Some countries target the REDD mechanism, while others just specify forest protection. Reforestation and afforestation activities are quoted. Reduced deforestation and land use change could also link with agriculture intensification. Agriculture sector: The main proposed activities focus on crop improvements through the production and use of improved seeds allowing for increases in yields and better adaptation to climate change. But also ….Activities proposed by countries reflect the concern for adaptation purposes (drought-resilient varieties, irrigation) that could be implemented together with mitigation targets
  3. Assess national framework conditions for mitigation, including the political and governance framework and general barriers for climate policy implementation. Consider relevant national strategies or plans as well as time horizons in the global climate process until 2015 (when a global agreement shall be negotiated) and 2020 (when the global emission peak must be reached). Assess bottom -up where gaps remain in existing policies in order to address national development needs and priorities and identify needed measures to be implemented applying emission reduction targets to them. A LEDS – given one exists already – can provide the framework for the development and implementation of NAMAs, as well as help to identify synergies and align with national development planning processes. If there is already a LEDS in place, the process of NAMA development can proceed directly from Step 3 onwards
  4. National inventory
  5. An indicator of the amount of GHG emitted to the atmosphere, due to activities of production and consumption of goods and services of anthropogenic origin (PAS 2050; 2008). CO2e = CO2 + CH4 + N2O The main difference between a carbon footprint and an LCA, beyond the number of impact categories examined, is that the carbon footprint separates out the inputs into (1) Scope 1 – all direct GHG emissions associated with owned or controlled activities; (2) Scope 2 – indirect GHG emissions from purchase electricity, heat or steam; and (3) Scope 3 – other indirect emissions such as transport-related activities in vehicles that are not owned by the organization, waste disposal etc.[2], whereas, an LCA commonly separates the inputs into life cycle phase (raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal), regardless of who owns or controls the activity causing the emission.
  6. LAND BASED COMPONENT VERTICAL ASPATIAL COMPONENT
  7. Farmers and farmers association
  8.    Previous land use at site of crop establishment: Land preparation: biomass removal, selective logging etc… Planting management of associated trees species diversity + functional diversity + associated tree  density   Management practices soil pest and disease management  (see table-en preparation).  Use of fertilizers and chemical inputs    
  9. Furthermore, we must take into account existing biodiversity conservation commitments, environmental services such as watershed functions that are closely linked to adaptation strategies for climate change, and decentralization of governance systems
