Webinar: Making trees count: Measurement, reporting and verification of agroforestry-based carbon
to America/New_York
Location: Online

Agroforestry contributes to farmers' livelihoods and resilience in the context of our changing climate. Agroforestry also sequesters carbon, contributing to climate change mitigation, but how much? Over a third (59 of 147) of developing countries have proposed agroforestry as a climate change mitigation activity to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). While countries have ambition to expand agroforestry, their capabilities to measure, report and verify (MRV) agroforestry actions and their carbon impacts are limited. So how can we make agroforestry trees count in global climate action efforts? The public is welcome to hear presentations on the latest science and join the conversation. This webinar will: Assess countries' ambitions and capabilities to implement MRV in agroforestry Explore a user-friendly and cost-effective approach to identifying agroforestry used in Southeast Asia Summarize the revised Tier 1 factors on agroforestry carbon stock change factors and explain why they are critical to improved MRV and national reporting  Investigate how inter-governmental dialogue on silvopastoral systems in Latin America is contributing to the assessment of countries readiness The webinar will conclude with a panel discussion based on questions from attendees.
