Integrating agriculture, forestry and other landuse in future climate regimesThe current agreement under the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol takes a fragmented approach to emissions and removals from Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU): not all activities, not all gases and not all lands are included. Overmore, net removals can be used to offset emissions from other sectors as the sector "Land-Use Change and Forestry (LUCF) is not an integral part of the "quantified emission limitations or reductions commitments" or targets to which Parties included in Annex I to the UNFCCC have committed themselves. This report presents five policy options that can be employed by non-Annex I Parties on a voluntary basis, at a moment of their choice, that will lead to a broader and deeper participation under a possible post 2012 climate regime without hindering but rather promoting their development, whilst at the same time enabling Annex I parties to take on commitments that lead to deeper cuts in emissions.
