National system of greenhouse gas reporting for forest and nature areas under UNFCCC in the Netherlands

Abstract

The Netherlands as being a Party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has the obligation to design and operationalise a national system for the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF). This report presents such a semi dynamic system at Tier 2 for forests and other nature terrains (trees outside forests, heathland, peats, and sandy areas) in The Netherlands. With this system a full account for carbondioxide and other greenhouse gas balance is presented and recalculated for 1990 ¿ 200
