UNDP-UNEP CDM Capacity carbon carbon accounting the forestry sector. accounting accounting accounting assesses the decrease in emissions from project or policy activities, often so that they can be traded. carbon accounting from the forestry sector. It allows comparison of the climate change impact of the forestry sector relative to other sectors, as well as allowing comparison between territories. Finally, it enables trade carbon targets. accounting accounting accounting carbon accounting accounting carbon accounting sources, including existing secondary data, remotely sensed data and primary data through field surveys. The amount of data from each source depends on the quality of the source as well as the accounting accounting where possible, and quantify this uncertainty through statistical analysis, published information and expert judgement. Uncertainty of model variables and components, once quantified, can be aggregated through simple propagation of errors or simulated through Monte Carlo analysis. The carbon accounting 3 accounting accounting However, IPCC guidance is vast and often difficult to navigate. In response, a number of tools for accounting carbon accounting irrespective of whether these tools are utilised. accounting still remain. Terminology relating to forests and managed lands is ambiguous and requires standardisation between stakeholders. More scientific research into forest biomass characteristics is also required to better incorporate the
