Why attend
GHG accounting rules, exemptions, exclusions, and omissions have consequences, creating gaps in reporting, global climate predictions and policy responses. Using the examples of military and conflict emissions, and net accounting in the forest sector, this session explores why reporting gaps matter for effective climate mitigation action, including nature-based solutions.
Session Description
With the climate crisis accelerating it’s imperative that we are able to understand and account for GHG emissions. This session examines two sectors that not only suffer from poor emissions reporting but whose activities also intersect with the conservation sector. Conflicts and militarism impact nature and climate in multiple and interconnected ways. Efforts to understand and mitigate the GHG emissions from military activities and armed conflicts pose both opportunities and risks for biodiversity, and are increasingly intersecting with the objectives of the conservation movement. Net accounting of emissions in the forest sector obscure the impacts of forest ecosystem degradation. Comprehensive and transparent carbon reporting is needed to identify emission sources and targeted mitigation solutions.Organised by
