Joint FAO-‐IPCC-‐IFAD Expert Mee=ng: Emerging Ac=vi=es to Combat Climate Change FAO, Rome, 13-‐14 November 2014
MITIGATION OPTIONS IN THE AFOLU SECTOR
RELEVANT DECISIONS OF THE UNFCCC ON REDD+
Decision 1/CP.16 –Cancun Agreements
FREL under the UNFCCC
Decision 4/CP.15 • Establishment of the FRELs/FRLs – transparent, taking into account historical data, adjusted to the naLonal circumstances
– use of the IPCC Guidelines, adopted or encouraged Decision 12/CP.17 – stepwise approach – improvement of the FREL to incorporate beQer data, improved methodologies, addiLonal pools.
– consistency with the latest naLonal GHG inventory
Guidelines for Submission of InformaLon on FREL/FRLs Annex to Decision 12/CP.17
Summary • AcLviLes Included in the FREL: Reducing Emissions from (gross) Deforesta8on
(RED)
• Gases Included: CO2
• Scale: sub-‐na8onal (Amazonia biome) transi8oning to na8onal
• Pools Included: living biomass (above and below-‐ground) and li>er
• Pools not Included (not significant): dead wood; and soil organic carbon (mineral and organic soils)
– Most significant conversion of Forest Land : Grassland (NaLonal Inventory, TerraClass)
• Literature review: in general, loss of carbon in the first few years post-‐conversion followed by the total recovery of the carbon in the organic soil.
• Dead Wood: part of a natural process. Timing of emissions is different.
BRAZIL´S FREL SUBMISSION TO THE UNFCCC
Brazilian Biomes
REDD+ approach by biome, starLng with the Amazonia biome and RED and transiLoning to other biomes, possibly to other REDD+ acLviLes, pools, and gases
Sector Emissions Profile and RelaLve ContribuLon of the Brazilian Biomes to LULUCF
Scale of REDD+ AcLviLes Emerging approaches to Forest Reference Emission Levels and/or Forest Reference Levels for REDD+, UN-‐REDD, October 2014
Annexes • Annex 1: Addi=onal informa=on about the forest reference
emission level for reducing emissions from deforesta=on in the Amazonia biome – I. PRODES: Amazonian Gross Deforesta=on Monitoring Project
– II. PPCDAm: Ac=on Plan for the Preven=on and Control of Deforesta=on in the Legal Amazonia
• Annex 2: Example to increase transparency – I. Example of the calcula=on of the adjusted deforesta=on increment – II. Example of the carcula=on of the carbon density associated with a
forest type
• Annex 3: – I. Degrada=on in the Amazonia biome (selec=ve logging)
Annexes
• Annex IV – The Development of FREL´s for other Biomes – I From Subna=onal to Na=onal
– II Deforesta=on and degrada=on in the Cerrado biome – III Enhancement of carbon stocks in the Atlan=c Forest biome
