WHAT IS LULUCF?
Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) is defined by the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat as "A greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use, land-use change and forestry activities."
Plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere as they grow, and they store some of the carbon throughout their lifetime. Soils can also store CO2, depending on how the soil is managed. This storage of carbon in plants and soils is called biological carbon sequestration. Because biological sequestration takes CO2 out of the atmosphere, it is also called a greenhouse gas "sink."
Emissions or sequestration of CO2 can occur as land uses change. For example, CO2 is exchanged between the atmosphere and the plants and soils on land as former cropland is converted into grassland, as new areas are cultivated and become cropland, or as forests grow. In addition, using biological feedstocks (such as energy crops or wood) for purposes such as electricity generation, input to processes that create liquid fuels, or building materials can lead to emissions or sequestration.
Examples of Reduction Opportunities in the LULUCF SectorType How Emissions are
Reduced or Sinks are Enhanced Examples
Examples
Change in Uses of Land Increasing carbon storage by using land differently or maintaining carbon storage by avoiding land degradation.
•Encouraging the transformation of cropland to forest.•Avoiding the conversion of forest land to settlements.
Changes in Land Management Practices
Improving management practices on existing land-use types.
•Reducing soil erosion to minimize losses in soil carbon storage.•Planting after natural or human-induced forest disturbances to accelerate vegetation growth and minimize soil carbon losses.
PRINCIPLES OF LULUCF
Treatment of LULUCF
activities be based on sound
science
Consistentmethodologies be used over time for the estimation and reporting of these activities
The reversal of any removal due to LULUCF activities beaccounted for at the appropriate point in time
The environmental integrity and the effectiveness of the KPtowards the achievement of the long-term objective of the Convention would NOT be affected by the accounting of LULUCF activities;
Accounting exclude removals resulting
from CO2 fertilization, indirect nitrogen deposition
and the dynamic effects of age
structure resulting from activities
