Presentation Transcript

  1. Experiencing the science-policy interface in BECC research • IPCC EFDB EB LULUCF (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Emission Factor DataBase, Editorial Board, Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry sector) • Åsa Kasimir, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg asa.kasimir@gu.se

  2. The research • Explaining greenhouse gas emission due to land use, focusing drained peatland. • Earlier and ongoing research contributes to development of the IPCC emission factors. Feeding into inventories for UNFCCC/Kyoto and mitigation actions of the society. CO2 N2O Ditch C N

  3. IPCC TFI (Task Force on Greenhouse Gas Inventories) EFDB http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/EFDB/main.php A library of EF’s

  4. Why this data is of need? • GHG inventories • Policy formulation and implementation • Understand linkage between management and emissions • Identify sectors with high emissions 24% of anthropogenic GHG emissions from AFOLU sector • Identify emission and removal trends 1961to 2012 doubling of GHG from AFOLU and livestock • To monitor progress towards policy goals • To inform the public

  5. Joint FAO-IPCC-IFAD expert meeting: Emerging activities to combat climate change – use of FAO data and IPCC GHG Inventory Guidelines for Agriculture and Land Use. 13-14 November 2014 FAO Headquarties, Rome

  6. Communication
