Webinar Series: Understanding Land Use in the UNFCCC

This is a four-part webinar series featuring the authors of the guide, “Understanding Land Use in the UNFCCC.” The guide’s objective is to provide clear and concise explanations on how land use is reported and accounted for under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol in order to help negotiators, inventory compilers, project developers, reviewers and policy makers working in the field.

The first webinar provides a high-level overview of the guide, while the subsequent sessions dig deeper into the different topics.
