Abstract
MITIGATION ACTIVITIES NEED TO BE EVALUATED AND PRIORITISED TO MEET THE CLIMATE CHALLENGE
The international community have committed to pursuing efforts to stabilise atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature increase to 1.5 °C. However, operationalising this commitment to achieve a true reduction in the carbon stock in the atmosphere requires revising some components of the carbon accounting methods, particularly in the land sector and for forests, so that activities can be evaluated for their true mitigation potential.
