Using the CCAFS Mitigation Options Tool to identify mitigation co-benefits in Ethiopia’s land use sector by Feliciano, Diana

“…The aims of the training of technicians and the seminar for policy makers and policy advisors were to introduce the CCAFS-MOT and to understand its capacity to support users to estimate GHG emissions from land management practices, identify sources of GHG emissions in the land use sector (agriculture, forest, grassland), understand the influence of land management practices on GHG emissions, identify mitigation options and their co-benefits and barriers for its implementation, and identify gaps for further analysis and tool refinement. …”
