1. Technical challenges in the AFOLU sector
AFOLU Working Session – Day 2
Strengthening MRV capacities and preparing for the Enhanced Transparency Framework, March 2018, Bangkok

2. Agriculture
Sharing experience and concerns between two countries: Bangladesh and Kazakhstan
Bangladesh: 1st time government officials in charge of preparing the NC
Kazakhstan: as Annex I, it is reporting every year since 2009

3. Agriculture
The two countries have a similar set up: centralized with around 7 governmental people in charge of NGHGI
Bangladesh: technical people not fully dedicated
2006 IPCC guideline at Tier 1
Data sharing is not streamlined
Main concern raised is data archiving after the NC2 and a plan for development
Kazakhstan: not only NGHGI but also the pollutant
2006 IPCC guideline, using Tier 2 for key category (using research emission factor)
Data sharing is easy, by accessing Statistical Authority website
Data archiving is set up but interested to improve

4. LULUCF / Forestry and other land use
Many countries (around 10) participated in the Technical Issues discussion related to LULUCF
The countries have different national circumstances, institutional arrangements and technical knowledge on reporting LULUCF emissions and removals

5. LULUCF / Forestry and other land use
Issue of double counting in Energy and LULUCF sector once report emissions for bioenergy production/use
Challenges estimating emission from forest degradation – illegal logging, surface fires, grazing
Accounting frameworks for LULUCF
Report on Mangrove forests – but IPCC Guidelines are lacking detail
Challenges for classification and mapping of land-use
