| Abstract: |
Climate-change mitigation should seriously take into account GHG emissions from deforestation and
decline in forest carbon stock (‘forest degradation’) as part of total emissions from AFOLU
(agriculture, forestry and other land uses). Efforts to reduce emissions from tropical land uses have
been linked to financial investment and coinvestment by industrialized countries to compensate the
developing countries that are willing to reduce emissions and are formalised under the name of
REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and (Forest) Degradation) or REDD+ (the same, plus
efforts to restore or enhance forest carbon stocks). There are big challenges to reach the objectives
and in developing the incentive mechanism, particularly in the definition of forest and also in the
inclusion of other land uses with regards to emissions and the recognition of potential carbon sinks
or CO2 removal.
Debates continue over basic concepts of scope of targeted actions to reduce land use based
emissions related to the definition of forest. The debate has also developed in parallel to the NAMA
(nationally appropriate mitigation actions) approach to deal with emissions at national scale through
a combination of policy instruments. In anticipation and response to such debates, the ASB
partnership created an initiative to address the issues of land-use definition or boundaries within
REDD and introduced a more holistic landscape approach to land-based emission reduction efforts,
formulated under the term Reducing Emissions from All Land Uses (REALU). It tries to ensure that
NAMA’s are based on Locally Appropriate Adaptation and Mitigation Actions (LAAMA), that address
real needs of the rural economy alongside environmental targets. |
