Publication Overview

Publication Date: 10-2022

The latest IPCC Assessment Report (IPCC 2022) clearly showcases the urgent need for climate action to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The agriculture, forestry and other land-use sectors are major contributors to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
consequently, nations should strive to exploit the maximum potential to mitigate emissions emerging from these sectors (Frank et al. 2021). To achieve this goal, instruments such as carbon markets have been successfully used to provide incentives to businesses in the sectors.

This policy brief aims to provide an overview of possible GHG emission reductions and removals associated to the agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries sectors and illustrate them in easy-to-understand graphic form. to the target groups include project proponents and decision-makers alike.
