1. Estimating GHG Emissions within FAOSTAT: A tool for Reporting and Capacity Building
Funded by:
NAMA Workshop, July 17th 2012, FAO Rome
2. Monitoring and Assessment of GHG Emissions and Mitigation Potentials in Agriculture
Project Goals:
•Generate knowledge to help developing countries identify, assess and report their GHG emissions in agriculture, forestry and fisheries
•Help countries identify mitigation options consistent with their rural development goals, food security, agro-ecosystems resilience, including NAMAs
•Close collaboration with IPCC and UNFCCC in support of reporting and negotiations
3. Main Project Activities:
•Development of FAOSTAT GHG emission database, to support countries UNFCCC reporting goals
•Build capacity of member states to report GHG data; web portal to access data and methodologies
•Contribution to IPCC AR5; Independent Technical Assessment
•Evidence base for UNFCCC international negotiations

4. Key Science and Policy Issues: FAOSTAT GHG: Building a Platform in support of National Accounting and Data sharing
•Unlike for energy, no international agency regularly reports for GHG agriculture
•Coverage of non-Annex I extremely poor in UNFCCC
•Supporting developing country reporting within the UN system: challenges and opportunities for FAO and FAOSTAT
5. METHODOLOGY AND WORKPLAN Methods: GHG = ActivityData*EF
1.Use FAOSTAT country-level activity data for agriculture and forestry sector, including LUC
2.Use IPCC guidelines Tier 1 EFs
a.Compile Global Dataset
b.Compare existing global coverage national-level databases for all emission categories (enteric, soils, manure, rice, etc.):
UNFCCC
EPA
EDGAR
FAOSTAT MAGHG
6. RESULTS: FAOSTAT GHG DATABASE COVERS > 75% GLOBAL EMISSIONS

16. Next Steps: Planned Activities 2012-2013 GHG Database Work
Peer-Review: External Expert Group, co-ownership Publications (5 papers in preparation) IPCC WGIII Adoption
Launch of the FAOSTAT GHG database: October 2012 APCAS; COP MOP Doha December 2012
17. Next Steps: Planned Activities 2012-2013 MAGHG Outreach
i)Regional Stakeholder Meetings for capacity building of relevant reporting agencies; first planned: APCAS Regional Workshop Vietnam, October 2012
ii)FAOSTAT Capacity Building; Pilot non-Annex I countries use FAOSTAT to comply with UNFCCC reporting, explore use for NAMAs
iii)IPCC WGIII Mitigation Chapter 11 AFOLU, higher order drafts and data analysis
iv)FAO Technical Assessment on mitigation potentials in line with rural development and food security objectives
