Land restoration in food security programmes: synergies with climate change mitigation by Woolf, Dominic, Solomon, Dawit, Lehmann, Johannes

“…The article first shows that the total reduction in net GHG emissions from PSNP’s land management at the national scale is estimated at 3.4 million Mg CO2e y−1 – approximately 1.5% of the emissions reductions in Ethiopia’s Nationally Determined Contribution for the Paris Agreement. The article then explores some of the opportunities and constraints to scaling up of this impact. …”

Biophysical potential of crop residues for biochar carbon sequestration, and co-benefits, in Uganda by Roobroeck, D., Hood‐Nowotny, R., Nakubulwa, D., Tumuhairwe, J.B., Mwanjalolo, M.J.G., Ndawula, I., Vanlauwe, Bernard

“…Increasing organic matter/carbon contents of soils is one option proposed to offset climate change inducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, under the auspices of the UNFCC Paris Agreement. One of the complementary practices to sequester carbon in soils on decadal time scales is amending it with biochar, a carbon rich byproduct of biomass gasification. …”

Reducing risks by transforming landscapes: Cross-scale effects of land-use changes on ecosystem services by Fedele, G., Locatelli, Bruno, Djoudi, H., Colloff, Matthew J.

“…Thus, adaptation implemented at the local-scale may not address development and climate adaptation challenges at regional or national scale (e.g. as part of UN Sustainable Development Goals or actions taken under the UNFCCC Paris Agreement). A better understanding of the context and impacts of local ecosystem-based adaptation is fundamental to the scaling up of land management policies and practices designed to reduce risks and improve well-being for people at different scales.…”

Exploring new opportunities for improving AFOLU emissions reporting and the current status of AFOLU emissions for non-annex I countries by Nyawira, Sylvia S., Mulatu, Kalkidan Ayele, Verchot, Louis V.

“…Given that the AFOLU sector is both a source and a sink of CO2 emissions, land-based mitigations are quickly being recognized as key measures to achieve the Paris Agreement’s (PA) goal of reducing global emissions. …”

Allometric Equations for the Biomass Estimation of Calophyllum inophyllum L. in Java, Indonesia by Basuki, T.M., Leksono, B., Baral, H., Andini, S., Wahyuni, N.S., Artati, Y., Choi, E., Shin, S., Kim, R., Yang, A.R., Samsudin, Y.B., Windyarini, E.

“…Reliable data on CO2 quantification is increasingly important to quantify the climate benefits of forest landscape restoration and international commitments, such as the Warsaw REDD+ Framework and Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. Calophyllum inophyllum L. (nyamplung as a local name or tamanu tree for the commercial name) is an increasingly popular tree species in forest landscape restoration and bioenergy production for a variety of reasons. …”

Quantification of economically feasible mitigation potential from agriculture, forestry and other land uses in Mexico by Sapkota, Tek Bahadur, Dittmer, Kyle M., Ortíz Monasterio, Jose Iván, Mathivanan, Gokul Prasad, Sonder, Kai, Leyva, Juan Carlos, García, Miguel Angel, Monroy, Diana Ysimoto, Shelton, Sadie W., Wollenberg, Eva Karoline

“…Countries often lack methods for rapidly, but robustly determining greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation actions and their impacts comprehensively in the land use sector to support commitments to the Paris Agreement. We present rapid assessment methods based on easily available spatial data and adoption costs for mitigation related to crops, livestock and forestry to identify priority locations and actions. …”
