Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Mitigation Project Database: An Assessment of the Current Status of Land-based Sectors in the Carbon Markets

This technical document sums up the lessons that can be drawn from the analysis and interpretation of the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Mitigation Project (AFOLU MP) database collecting information on ongoing agriculture and forestry mitigation projects. This paper sets the context for the pilot projects that are being developed under the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) project, assesses the status of AFOLU mitigation projects and identifies the gaps to be filled on the climate change agenda to enable the AFOLU sectors to contribute in a recognised way to climate change mitigation.
