GHG fluxes approaches • Chamber method • Flux tower, fire emissions

C-stocks approaches • Land-use change • Above- and below-ground biomass

Ecosystem approaches • Remote sensing • Modeling of land-use and C-dynamics

UNFCCC SBSTA Side event

SBSTA-32 identified the limitation of

the IPCC 2006 for GHGs National

Inventory

Invited IPCC to hold an Expert

Meeting to “explore the need to

clarify methodological issues related

to...wetlands…

Synergizing adaptation strategies

and measures

Tropical wetlands should be in the

agenda
