Scope Of The Workshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This workshop was organized within IEA Bioenergy Task XV\/25 (“Greenhouse Gas Balances of Bioenergy Systems”)\u00a0 and is part of a series of meetings taking place every 6 to 12 months.<\/p>\n

The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted on 10 December 1997 in Kyoto,\u00a0 Japan. This workshop will focus on the consequences of the protocol for forestry and bioenergy projects aimed at reducing\u00a0 carbon emissions or enhancing carbon sinks (for a full version of the protocol see\u00a0http:\/\/newsroom.unfccc.int\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The current version of the Kyoto Protocol (which is still subject to technical revision) states that
\n“… The\u00a0 net changes in greenhouse-gas emissions from sources and removals by sinks, resulting from direct human-induced land-use change and forestry activities, limited to afforestation, reforestation, and deforestation since 1990, measured as verifiable changes in stocks in each commitment period … shall be used to meet the commitments …<\/i>“.
\nOf particular interest at the workshop was the issue of “baselines” (both in terms of reference land uses\u00a0 and reference energy systems), needed as a reference to derive the net carbon benefits of forestry, bioenergy, or other land-use related projects.<\/p>\n
