This document discusses Africa's opportunities for low-carbon, climate-resilient development in the agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) sector. It notes that AFOLU is responsible for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and provides livelihoods for many in Africa. While AFOLU emissions have increased in recent decades, the sector also offers significant mitigation potential through practices like improved forest and land management, sustainable agriculture, and bioenergy. Realizing this potential faces challenges around food security, access to finance and technology, and managing risks and trade-offs. Robust measurement, reporting and verification systems will also be needed to account for emissions across forests and non-forest lands.
Implications of the AR finding in the AFOLU sector in Africaipcc-media
This document discusses Africa's opportunities for low-carbon, climate-resilient development in the agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) sector. It notes that AFOLU is responsible for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and outlines trends showing emissions increasing despite reduction efforts. The document then discusses challenges Africa faces in mitigation given expected emissions increases from food production. However, it also outlines large mitigation potential through land-based strategies like agriculture, forestry, and bioenergy. Key uncertainties are incomplete data and accounting for non-forest ecosystems and fluxes. Managing trade-offs between mitigation and adaptation is also discussed.

WP 4.2. Policy Scenario building - UFMG & CITCIFOR-ICRAF
This document discusses developing policy scenarios to assess whether key forest countries will meet their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It outlines the project structure and work packages, including using scenario building to link science, policy, and politics. For Brazil case study, it presents preliminary results comparing business as usual, strong governance, and intermediate governance scenarios for deforestation and GHG emissions trajectories. Key challenges identified include obtaining appropriate spatial data and emission factors and aligning scenario results with country reporting under the Paris Agreement.
Role of SEEA Framework for Valuation of Natural ResourcesMohdFaisalKhan10
The document discusses the SEEA (System of Environmental-Economic Accounting) framework for valuing natural resources. It provides an overview of the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting approach, which complements the SEEA Central Framework. Examples are given of accounting for ecosystem extent, condition, and services. Thematic accounts covering areas like land, carbon, and water are also discussed. The document then covers valuation approaches in ecosystem accounting and provides lessons learned from natural capital accounting projects.
This document discusses MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) systems for soil organic carbon and soil carbon sequestration. It provides an overview of where current MRV systems and guidance are, including the IPCC guidelines, and what is still missing to fully utilize soils in climate mitigation efforts. Specifically, it notes that a clear signal of support from policymakers could help scale up investments in research, pilot projects and adoption of soil health practices. The unique opportunity presented by the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture to provide such a conclusion at COP could be a game-changer for soils to be fully considered in NDCs.
This document discusses forests and the Paris Agreement in Asia Pacific regions. It notes that Asia Pacific regions contain 26% of the world's tropical rainforests and play a key role in achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise. REDD+ negotiations over the past 10 years have produced guidance for implementing REDD+ with result-based finance. Private sector engagement is also recognized. The document outlines opportunities for collaboration among Asia Pacific countries in implementing NDCs and developing transparency frameworks under the Paris Agreement, particularly for the forest sector.
Developing FRELs/FRLs and Potential Implications of Economic IncentivesCIFOR-ICRAF
This document discusses developing forest reference emission levels and reference levels (FRELs/FRLs) for REDD+ and their implications for economic incentives. It proposes a stepwise approach for countries to establish FRELs/FRLs based on available data and capacity. Case studies from Brazil, Indonesia, Peru and Vietnam show how to model drivers of deforestation and estimate FRELs/FRLs. Comparing FRELs to actual emissions helps determine a country's performance in REDD+ and potential payments. Establishing credible FRELs/FRLs is important for REDD+ financial incentives but must balance climate and development goals.

Presented by Félicien Kengoum (PhD student, University of Helsinki), at "Bridging policy and science on addressing climate change and deforestation in Democratic Republic of Congo", on 12-14 December 2022
This document discusses climate change adaptation efforts in the Congo Basin region of Central Africa. While mitigation efforts have focused mainly on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), the region is already experiencing impacts from climate change like changing temperatures and rainfall patterns. The CoFCCA (Congo Basin Forest and Climate Change Adaptation) program was established to develop adaptation strategies for forests and local communities by identifying vulnerable sectors, building stakeholder capacity, and demonstrating pilot adaptation projects. Key challenges include integrating adaptation into existing forest and development policies, addressing the needs of vulnerable groups, and documenting adaptation best practices for the region.

This document discusses incorporating blue carbon from coastal ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes into countries' forest reference emission levels (FREL) and the potential carbon market. It outlines how blue carbon was added to IPCC guidelines in 2013 and explains why FREL are important for REDD+ projects and results-based payments. Default carbon stock values are presented and case studies from Indonesia demonstrate higher stock estimates and the need to consider land use change trajectories and soil carbon beyond 1 meter. Voluntary carbon markets and methodologies are mentioned as an opportunity, with key takeaways about preferring higher tier emission factors and accounting for peatland mangrove soil carbon.
This document discusses the Land Degradation Focal Area Portfolio Monitoring and Assessment in the GEF Secretariat. It aims to demonstrate GEF's role in catalyzing sustainable land management and monitoring global environmental benefits. A results-based framework outlines objectives and targets related to agroecosystems, forests, integrated landscapes, and adaptive project management for the UNCCD. A Portfolio Monitoring and Assessment Tool is used to capture project data and information based on indicators and targets to assess trends, report progress towards outcomes, identify best practices, and enhance adaptive management of the land degradation portfolio.
Increasing the storage of carbon in the soil has been a controversial strategy for addressing climate change mitigation. What is the potential and why is there debate about this? How can we push beyond the debate to constructive action?

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.

• Align with UNFCCC, as possible. Consider other guidance, within capacity and
consistent with national circumstances.
• Measuring performance should be more than just GHG emissions
• The focus should not be to only access carbon finance (multiple sources will be
sought, both domestic and international; need for external support; importance
of adaptation)
• A global contribution can follow a nationally-focused program; similarly finance
will be attracted if Zambia can demonstrate results
• Consider a hybrid approach; can be dynamic, change over time
• Wait and see approach for submission to UNFCCC, while improving data and
information
8. Purpose of a FREL
Domestic purpose: To measure the impact of policies and measures
taken to protect forests
International finance: Countries are invited to voluntarily submit
FRELs to be technically assessed “in the context of results-based
payments”.
Developing parties seeking to obtain and receive payments for results-
based actions to supply a technical annex to the Biennial Update
Report. A technical team of experts will analyze consistency of the
reported results with the assessed FREL.
Global mitigation contribution: The FREL may be used to help
measure Zambia’s “intended nationally determined contribution”
(INDC) to the UNFCCC

23. Construction methodology of the FREL
Pros Cons
Uses full set of data May not predict well (i.e.
underestimate) expected BAU
emissions from 2015-2020
Option 1: Reference period 2001 - 2014
MtCO2eq
24. Pros Cons
Easier to perform against
A better reflection of the future
emissions from deforestation?
May be considered too short a
reference period (average of
submissions to date is around 10 yrs)
Option 2: Reference period 2011 - 2014
MtCO2eq
Construction methodology of the FREL
25. Pros Cons
Compromise between Option 1 & 2; a
9-year period is within the range of
what is generally accepted
No spatially explicit data for years
2006 to 2010.
Option 3: Reference period 2006 - 2014
MtCO2eq
Construction methodology of the FREL
26. Pros Cons
Easier to perform against
A better reflection of the future
emissions from deforestation?
Data is not available to quantify
expected emissions in the future
MtCO2eq
Option 4: Adjustment (projection)
Construction methodology of the FREL
27. Zambia FREL
The proposed FREL suggests the best estimate at this time of emissions associated with land
use change (forest to non-forest) in Zambia, for the near future, amount to an annual rate of
16.49 MtCO2 e/yr-1
28. National circumstances
• Energy demand
• New districts
• Infrastructure development
• Mining activities
• Rural to Rural migration
• Policy and Legal Reforms
Forest Act / Forestry Policy
Urban and Regional planning Act
29. Key Challenges to data Needs
• The cost of satellite images (i.e. high res.) to
support a wall to wall approach to cover the
country
• Appropriate technology and methodologies
which are sustainable
• The level of forest loss to be assessed
(deforestation, degradation, fires)
• Varying forest types in the country
30. Approaches to historical Forest Degradation
• Zambia has not yet addressed this issue
because an appropriate methodology [for dry
forest (Miombo)] has not been identified
31. Considerations for selecting Scale and Scope
• Capacity to undertake the work and monitor
the change
• The approach for REDD+ Implementation
• Availability of data
• The need to track the changes and
implementation of activities
32. Way forward
• Proposed future Improvements
Additional land use assessment – Option 3 (2006)
Measuring degradation
Including gain & regrowth
Additional pools
Soil Carbon
Litter
Including emissions from fire, including non-CO2 gases
