Synopsis (short abstract) ”Enhancing country capacity for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change reporting processes for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector: Uruguay” summarizes the support provided by FAO between 2014 and 2015 to the government of Uruguay, through the Monitoring and Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Mitigation in Agriculture (MAGHG) project. Uruguay was among the fifteen countries attending the FAO Mesoamerican Workshop for Emission Inventories and Mitigation Plan s in Agriculture, Land Use, Changes in Land Use and Forestry, held 21-23 July 2014 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Uruguay expressed interest in receiving support from FAO to improve their capacity in assessing emissions for the Agriculture and Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors. These sectors play an important role in Uruguay’s economy, therefore, they should be appropriately reflected in Biennial Update Reports (BURs) and National Communications (NCs) prepared by developing count ries to meet their United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting requirements. The overall support provided is in line with FAO’s Corporate Strategy on capacity development, aimed at enhancing country driven development that is consistent with national circumstances and priorities, and anchored in local expertise.

    Enhancing countries’ capacity to report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on greenhouse gas emissions for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use sector: Ecuador 2016

    Ecuador has submitted two national communications (NCs 2000, 2012) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), providing information on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and measures to mitigate and to facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change among other information. In 2016, Ecuador also presented its First Biennial Update Report (BUR), which included the REDD+ technical annex to the BUR. In 2010, GHG emissions from the Agriculture and the Land Use, Land Use C hange and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors contributed to respectively 18 % and 30% of the national GHG emissions. Since 2013, the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) and the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programmes have provide support to Ecuador for the preparation and reporting of the national GHG inventory (NGHGI), agriculture and LULUCF components, to the UNFCCC. This brief hi ghlights the implemented activities and fruitful collaboration that were fundamental in assisting Ecuador in successfully meeting its commitments to the UNFCCC reporting process for the Agriculture and LULUCF sectors.

Costa Rica was among the eighteen countries attending the Second FAO Workshop on Statistics for Greenhouse gas Emissions , held from 3 to 4 June 2013 in Port of Spai n, Trinidad and Tobago. It was organized by the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme. The aim of this workshop was to raise awareness of the importance of agricultural statistics for preparing national GHG inventories and planning national mitigation action, and to facilitate communication and exchange of relevant knowledge at national and regional level.
