Summary
Global land-based emissions data and mitigation strategies are now available to help countries meet Paris Agreement climate targets. This study provides crucial data for developing national strategies and assessing climate mitigation efforts in the land use sector.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Climate Science
- Forestry Science
Background:
- Over 150 countries have set net-zero targets to meet Paris Agreement climate goals (1.5°C or 2°C).
- National data on land-based greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation strategies are limited compared to energy sectors.
- A gap exists between integrated assessment models and national inventories for land-based emissions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide worldwide national land-based emission and mitigation scenario data.
- To offer a detailed portfolio of mitigation options for the agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) sectors.
- To bridge the gap between integrated assessment models and national greenhouse gas inventories.
Main Methods:
- Estimation of carbon sequestration in managed forests.
- Compilation of national land-based emission and mitigation scenario data.
- Development of a detailed portfolio of mitigation options.
Main Results:
- Worldwide national land-based emission and mitigation scenario data have been compiled.
- A detailed portfolio of mitigation options for land-based sectors is now available.
- The data facilitates estimation of carbon sequestration in managed forests.
Conclusions:
- The provided data can serve as a benchmark for countries developing national AFOLU strategies.
- This information aids in reviewing national contributions to global climate assessments.
- The data ensures consistency with integrated assessment model estimates for land-based emissions.

01:50Global Climate Change
24.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:16What is Climate?
19.0K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

01:17Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment
106
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

01:17Radiation: Applications
1.3K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

01:17Precipitation and Co-precipitation
2.1K
Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...

01:12Precipitation Processes

The experimental conditions in a gravimetric analysis should be optimized to maximize the particle size and purity of the obtained precipitate. Ideally, the concentration of the precipitating reagent should be low with effective stirring to maintain low relative supersaturation for the growth of large crystals. In homogeneous precipitation, the precipitant is slowly generated by a chemical reaction in the solution to avoid local reagent excesses. For example, urea decomposes gradually to...
