Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Annex I countries report on greenhouse gas emissions from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF\/AFOLU) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. The accounting framework for the land use sector under the Paris Agreement has not yet been agreed upon, so it is timely to consider the accounting options and what could be learned from experience under the Kyoto Protocol. In the context of the European Union (EU), land use sector activities will be integrated in the 2030 GHG reduction targets, with the intent to provide incentives for climate friendly management of the forest and agricultural sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forests are currently main contributors to the GHG sink of terrestrial ecosystems and at the same time main providers of biological resources to displace fossil resources, i.e. wood products and bioenergy. Land use sector accounting may significantly influence nations\u2019 opportunities to manage forests and other lands to enhance their carbon sink, fossil GHG displacement or both. There can be trade-offs between carbon sequestration, carbon stocks, and biomass production for energy and harvested wood products. There can also be trade-offs between short- and long-term climate objectives. Accounting rules can influence land management, which in turn can influence climate forcing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet the intent and avoid unintended consequences it is crucial that accounting rules are devised with consideration of the impacts of land management on climate forcing, and that 2 they reflect the appropriate spatial and temporal scales. Further, they should create incentives for countries to take action and implement effective policies and measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aim and Scope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the workshop is to inform coming decisions on an accounting framework for the land use sector under the Paris Agreement, and to contribute to the further discussion and planning of climate and energy policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the workshop will examine and discuss: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
