a Projects included are those for which we have sufficient data. Soil carbon
management, bioenergy, and other projects are not included for this reason. b "Some level of implementation"-Included projects have been partially funded and have begun activities on the ground that will generate increases in carbon stocks and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. c "Other LULUCF projects"-Refers to selected non-AIJ projects and projects within Annex I countries. d Estimated changes in carbon stocks generally have been reported by project developers, do not use standardized methods, and may not be comparable; only some have been independently reviewed. e Non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions have not been reported. f Protecting an existing forest does not necessarily ensure a long-term contribution to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect because of the potential for leakage and reversibility through human activities, disturbances, or environmental change. Table 5 does not provide an assessment in relation to these issues. Sound project design and management, accounting, and monitoring would be required to address these issues. |
