Webinar- Carbon Emissions from Land Use and Management in East and North-East Asia: Linking Desertification, land degradation and climate change
To facilitate knowledge sharing amongst experts from North-East Asia on the interlinkage between DLD and climate change, ESCAP ENEA Office in the capacity of the NEASPEC Secretariat and Mid Latitude Region Network supported by OJERI are co-organizing an expert group meeting to share current status of CO2 emissions from land use management and responses and solicit expert inputs on the preliminary findings of the subregional stock-taking study.
The Webinar also aims to provide an opportunity to discuss the role of LULUCF emissions at the subregional level and primarily review methodologies. The meeting will focus on the following topics:
- Sharing current status of CO2 emission from land uses and land management and responses in North-East Asian Counties.
- Challenges and opportunities in mitigating and adapting to DLD and associated CO2 emissions
