CONTENT

• Details on use of the UNFCCC-NAI Software to
  calculate and report GHG emissions in theLand
  Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry sector.
• Practical exercises (to be solved by the
  participants after the presentation).

3
BACKGROUND

• The decision trees in the IPCC good practice
  guidance for land use, land-use change and
  forestry (GPG2003) are used to choose a good
  practice method that suits national
  circumstances.
• The UNFCCC-NAI Software contains, basically, the
  methods of lesser complexity that countries can
  use to prepare their inventories.
• However, in principle, the software can be used
  to report the estimated emissions independently
  of the complexity of method used (Tier 2, 3, etc).

4
LUCF Sector IPCC 1996 Guidelines

• Methodology
• Can be implemented at three different levels of
  complexity and geographic scale
• A simple first order approach based on aggregate
  default data (default approach)
• More accuracy can be achieved by substituting
  country-specific values for general defaults.

5
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

• Use of GPG2003 (and the higher Tiers) for GHG
  inventories is encouraged to reduce the
  uncertainty of emission estimates.
• GPG2003 contains good practices for the LULUCF
  Sector (not covered in GPG2000)
• overcomes many of the problems detected in the
  use of the IPCC Guidelines to estimate LUCF
  emissions
• updates information necessary for
  calculations(AD, EF and other emission
  parameters).

6
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

• Methodology
• Uses the same basic conceptual approach as in the
  IPCC Guidelines but with some important
  inclusions, updates and improvements
• Provides three hierarchical Tiers of methods
  (nearly corresponding to the three levels of
  complexity of the IPCC Guidelines)
• Land-use category base approach (forest land,
  cropland, grassland, wetland, settlement and
  others)
• A division is also made based on the status and
  recent history of the land use a) lands that
  begin and end an inventory period in the same
  use,b) lands converted to other land use.

7
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

• Methodology
• Association of above- and below-ground carbon
  pools.
• Provides key category analysis approach (land-use
  category based). Not directly applicable to the
  categories 5A to 5D in IPCC Guidelines.
• Provides decision trees.

8
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

• Methodology Provides three methodological Tiers
• Tier 1
• Employs the basic method provided in IPCC
  Guidelines (Workbook) and the default EF (updated
  in GPG2003).
• It includes other land uses and pools whose
  emissions or removals were assumed as default
  zero.
• Tier 2
• Can use the same approach as Tier 1 but applies
  EF and AD which are defined by the country.
• Can also apply stock change methodologies based
  on country-specific data.
• Tier 3
• Higher order methods including models and
  inventory measurements.

9
LULUCF Sector IPCC Software and GPG2003

• Calculation of emissions using GPG2003, in this
  sector, is not completely possible using the IPCC
  Software (it was not designed for this).
• Using the software with the IPCC Guidelines
  default approach it is not possible to cover all
  the land categories and carbon pools included in
  GPG2003.

10
LULUCF Sector UNFCCC-NAI Software and GPG2003

• A new module (Module 5B) has been added to the
  present software so that inventory compilers can
  apply the more recent methodologies developed by
  the IPCC to the Land Use, Land-Use Change and
  Forestry sector, as described in GPG2003.
• The UNFCCC encourages the use of these
  methodologies, although the user may still choose
  to use the outdated Module 5 Land Use

11
LULUCF Sector UNFCCC-NAI Software and GPG2003

• In the current software you have the choice
  between two alternatives.
• For preparing a complete inventory it is
  necessary to use either of the modules, but not
  both.

12
LULUCF Sector UNFCCC-NAI Software

• When you open Module 5 you will be prompted with
  a dialogue box asking whether you would like to
  use the IPCC Good Practice Format (GPG2003) for
  the LULUCF Sector.

13
LULUCF Sector UNFCCC-NAI Software

• If you would like to use the IPCC Good Practice
  Format (GPG2003) choose YES in the dialogue
  box. Selecting Yes opens the summary table of
  Module 5B.

14
LULUCF Sector UNFCCC-NAI Software

• If you want to use the IPCC Guidelines Format
  (IPCC Guidelines) choose NO in the dialogue
  box. Selecting No opens Module 5, the Land-Use
  Change and Forestry module as described in the
  IPCC Guidelines.

15
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

• The main differences introduced in GPG2003 are
  the following
• Inclusion of additional land categories.
• Inclusion of additional carbon pools.
• Inclusion of additional non-CO2 gases.
• Estimation of biomass increment and losses in
  each land category.

16
LULUCF Sector GPG2003

1. Linking of biomass and soil carbon for each land
   category.
2. There is no one-to-one linkage or correspondence
   between the IPCC Guidelines categories (5A to 5E)
   and GPG2003 land categories.
3. Methods given for all carbon pools AGB, BGB,
   dead organic matter and soil carbon and all
   non-CO2 gases (in IPCC Guidelines methods were
   provided only for AGB and soil carbon).

17
LULUCF Sector GPG2003Worksheets and Reporting
Tables

1. The equations to estimate emissions and removals
   of CO2 and non-CO2 greenhouse gas from the
   different categories in GPG2003 are translated
   into new default Worksheets and Reporting Tables
   (designed using the same format as in the IPCC
   Guidelines wherever possible).
2. Resulting estimates of emissions and removals in
   the Worksheets are compiled in the Compilation
   Worksheets and finally in the Reporting Tables.

18
LULUCF Sector GPG2003Worksheets and Reporting
Tables

1. All users using GPG2003 should report their
   inventory information in the format prescribed by
   the Reporting Tables.
2. Includes a Tool for Estimation of Soil Carbon
   Stock Change.

19
LULUCF Sector GPG2003Worksheets

• Worksheets are presented in modules and
  sub-modules. Each module corresponds to specific
  land-use category.
• A module is divided into two sub-modules to
  distinguish between those lands that remain in
  the same land-use category and those lands
  converted to other land-use category.
• Each sub-module consists of worksheets, which are
  mainly grouped into living biomass worksheets
  dead organic matter worksheets soil worksheets
  (further sub-grouped into mineral and organic
  soils) and non-CO2 GHG emissions worksheets.

• Steps
• Go to the sheet Summary for LULUCF and enter
  manually the CO2 emissions/removals from the
  annual change in carbon stocks (in Gg CO2) in

  enter manually the CO2 emissions/removals
  obtained for FF in the sheet Summary for the
  Module 5B (LULUCF) (-2,240.15 Gg CO2). Make the
  same operation for the Summary of the inventory
  (Tables 7A and 7B).
• Note Deliberately, the results from the
  worksheets are not linked automatically with the
  summary tables because a) in the worksheets the
  headers are only emissions/removals whereas the
  summary tables need to report emissions and
  removals separately b) Summary Table 7B uses the
  structure of the IPCC Guidelines whereas Table 5B
  uses the new structure. A mapping back is
  needed.
