    graph Main drivers
    • Increase in GHGs: population pressure, income increse, diet changes, technological
    changes
    • Decrease in GHGs: increased land productivity, conservation tillage, non-climate
    policies (AI), forest sinks (temperate/boreal)

    Baseline emissions: Forests

    IPCC
    Economic Mitigation Potential

    Mitigation practices in Agriculture


    Cropland management; Restoration of organic soils; Rice management;
    Grazing land management – 90% of potential is carbon sequestration
    Mitigation practices in Forests
    Reduced emissions from deforestation; afforestation; forest management

    IPCC
    Agriculture: Regional Distribution of
    Economic Potential (US$ 100/tCO2-eq)

    70% of potential is in developing regions

    IPCC
    Forests: Regional Distribution of
    Economic Potential (US$ 100/tCO2-eq)

    65% of potential is in developing regions


    Developing countries: reduced deforestation 40% of potential
    Developed countries, EIT: forest management 63-72% of potential
    IPCC
    Biomass as Feedstock for Energy
    • Agriculture:
    – Biomass for energy produced in agricultural land may cause
    indirect emissions reductions of 70-1,260 Mt CO2-eq./yr (at
    US$ 20/tCO2) by 2030.
    – In addition, emissions reductions of 770 Mt CO2-eq./yr can
    be achieved through energy efficiency
    – Forests:
    – Indirect emissions reductions of 40-4,000 Mt CO2-eq./yr (at
    US$ 20/tCO2) can be achieved by 2030.
    – Increasing stocks of harvested wood products can also
    contribute (not estimated in the report).

    IPCC
    Final Remarks (1)
    • Developing regions:
    – where most emissions occur (both in agriculture and forests)
    – where emissions tend to increase (agriculture)
    – where ca. 2/3 of economic mitigation potential can be
    achieved.
    • Developed regions, EIT:
    – agriculture emissions tend to decrease
    – forest sector is a net sink
    – large potential for carbon sequestration through forest
    management and carbon sequestration in soils in some areas

    IPCC
    Final Remarks (2)
    • C sequestration represents 90% of potential in agriculture, and
    60% in forests
    – high uncertainty of estimates (baseline and potentials)
    – uncertainty on long-term effects (about sink enhancement or reversal due
    to climate change)
    • Agriculture and forests may also contribute to mitigation in
    energy sector through production of biomass feedstocks and
    energy efficiency measures
    – Competition with other land uses, positive or negative
    environmental impacts, implications for food security
    • Most mitigation practices in agriculture and forests
    have synergies with sustainable development and
    interactions with adaptation.
