UNDERSTANDING LAND USE IN THE UNFCCC

This guide seeks to explain the treatment of land use under the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including requirements for
reporting GHG emissions and removals, accounting under the Kyoto Protocol, and
guidance for REDD+.

Background:
While greenhouse gas emissions from land use have the same warming effect on the
atmosphere as other emissions, land use is different from other sectors in a
number of ways. As a consequence, reporting and accounting of emissions from
land use has developed under the United National Framework Convention for
Climate Change (UNFCCC) differently to other sectors. It has come to be seen as
an arcane and complex subject, even for those who work on climate and forest
issues.

The objective of Understanding Land Use in the UNFCCC is to increase
understanding of how human induced emissions and removals from the land sector
are reported and accounted for within the UNFCCC. This Summary for Policymakers
provides a high level summary of the Guide.
