Monitoring and Assessment of GHG in Agriculture Food and Agriculture OrganizaEon of the United NaEons

FAO ObjecEves •  IdenEfy miEgaEon strategies that are consistent with food

security, resilience and rural development goals

•  Support member countries to improve rural staEsEcs and report their GHG emissions from agriculture, forestry and the land use sector –NCs, BURs, NAMAs and REDD+

•  Coordinate with relevant internaEonal programmes

towards coherent frameworks, focusing naEonal staEsEcal processes –UNDP; UNREDD; UNFCCC; IPCC Global Strategy

FAO AcEviEes

•  Global data: FAOSTAT Emissions database for AFOLU,

1961-‐present, with country detail

•  Knowledge generaEon: IPCC AR5 and IPCC Guidelines,

GHG Reports

•  Capacity Development: Support member countries idenEfy

and report GHG data for AFOLU –Manuals, Infografix

Data on: – Burned areas for all land cover categories – Organic soils

Total Savanna burned area in 2012

Total Savanna biomass burned in 2012 (Tonnes) (Tier1 IPCC default methodology)

Burning Biomass Ac:vity Data

These new data are available through FAOSTAT as NaEonal aggregates, and soon for download as geo-‐referenced data

Ac#vity data from geo-‐referenced data

• Organic soils map (HWSD) • Land Cover map (GLC 2000) • Burned area from satellite data (MODIS, GFED4) • ClimaEc map (JRC) • Forests map (FAO-‐FRA)

• Emissions from cul#vated organic soils

• Emissions from Biomass Burning

IPCC 2006

Drained Organic Soils

•  Organic Soils (Histosols): -‐ Harmonized World Soil Database (FAO, IIASA, ISRIC, CAS, JRC -‐ 2012)

•  CulEvated (cropped) areas: -‐ GLC 2000 (currently exploring MODIS 2001-‐2010)

•  ClimaEc zones: -‐ JRC map, 2010, according to IPCC prescripEons

Addressing different data analysis needs:

1.  NaEonal, Regional and Global Assessments: Facilitate regional comparisons and trend analysis for AFOLU –IPCC AR5

2.  Fill data gaps and QA/QC procedures: Provide a reference, Tier 1 data framework for analysis of AFOLU GHG trends for all countries–EU 28 QA/QC in 2014 using FAOSTAT Emissions data

3.  Develop Indicators: Derive complex GHG indexes useful for analysis and policy support

4.  Access geo-‐referenced data: Move beyond naEonally aggregated staEsEcs for the land use sector

New Data Analysis Tools in FAOSTAT Emissions Database

2. QA/QC Analyses Manure Left on Pasture Average 1990-2010 Annex I

Rice Average 1990-2010 non-Annex I

Capacity Development-‐Knowledge •  Knowledge GeneraEon; GHG Data Analyses, Manuals in

support of GHG Inventory and submission processes

Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Emissions by Sources and Removals by Sinks

Capacity Development-‐Regional Sta:s:cs

•  Incep:on Workshop on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Sta:s:cs Da Lat, Viet Nam, 5 -‐ 6 October 2012 33 parEcipants; 18 countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, LAO PDR, Korea ROK, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Viet Nam)

•  Second FAO workshop on Sta:s:cs for Greenhouse Gases Emissions Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 3 -‐ 4 June 2013 29 parEcipants; 18 countries (ArgenEna, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Dominican Republic, Peru, Uruguay, and Trinidad and Tobago)

•  Third FAO Regional workshop on Sta:s:cs for Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Casablanca, Morocco, 2 -‐ 3 December 2013 37 parEcipants; 23 countries (Algeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo Dem. Rep., Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia).

Capacity Development-‐BURs/NAMAs •  BUR ‘’Pilots’’ QA Mexico, Uruguay, Costa Rica •  UN REDD Targeted Support Ecuador, Colombia, DRC, Congo •  Special ac:vity on Peatlands Indonesia

-‐  Data Gaps; QA/QC -‐  NaEonal StaEsEcal Processes -‐  Interagency CoordinaEon -‐  UNREDD, UNDP, UNFCCC, IPCC

Conclusions

•  Availability of a global greenhouse gas emission database by country, as tool to support member countries build a robust Tier 1 for AFOLU and perform QA/QC analyses on acEvity data and GHG emissions

•  Possibility of direct work with member countries

•  Focus on building coherency among relevant programmes, aimed at increasing efficiency of country impacts and donor resources
