Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use

Workshops
The Working Group has co-organized about eight workshops over the past two years on: Carbon accounting in mangrove ecosystems, forests, and croplands; mitigation and LEDS planning in the land use sector; rice production and accounting; and options to finance land use projects, including engaging the private sector. We expect to co-organize three to four workshops in 2017.

Communities of Practice
The AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) Community of Practice in Africa focuses on facilitating peer to peer exchange, providing training and technical assistance and sharing best practices on:
- Agroforestry action as a driver of socioeconomic development and emission reduction
- Linking agricultural production with small-scale energy sources to enable socioeconomic development and emission reductions
- Analytical approaches to assess greenhouse gas emissions and socioeconomic development impact of actions across the energy and agriculture sector through integrating models and translating approaches into policies and actions.
- Regional workshop on incorporating mangroves into national GHG inventories (March 2016, Siem Reap, Cambodia)
- National workshop on mangrove carbon stocks and implications for conservation and management (March 2016, Phnom Penh, Cambodia)
- Panel on “Private Sector involvement in achieving AFLU NDCs : ESGs and banking sector” (ALP Forum, Hanoi, June 2016)
- Presentation on interactions and contradictions between REDD+ readiness planning and finance, and LEDS land use plans (LEDS LAC annual meeting Sept, Panama City).
The Working Group welcomes requests for short-term technical advice and support at no cost to the requesting organization.
