Abstract

Land management faces a series of daunting challenges in the 21st century. These include contributing to the global mitigation effort and adaptation needed to prevent dangerous climate change, while providing enough food for a population of 9 billion by 2050 as well as shelter and livelihoods for rural populations and various ecosystem services. The existing mitigation reporting and accounting arrangements for the land sector are complex, not applicable to all Parties, and provide limited scope for pursuing more costeffective accounting approaches that would enable developing countries to address conflicting policy objectives such as addressing climate change while increasing agricultural output. This paper has two aims. The first is to lay out possible elements of a long-term vision for the post-2020 reporting and accounting framework for emissions and removals from the land sector, building on existing experience with reporting and accounting as well as previous studies. The second is to identify possible steps that could be taken at COP 20 in 2014, COP 21 in 2015, and in 2016-2020 to put Parties on a pathway towards realising this vision. Jeter les bases d'un cadre de déclaration et de comptabilisation post-2020 dans le secteur foncier La gestion des terres est confrontée à une série de défis redoutables au XXIe siècle. Elle doit en effet contribuer à l’effort mondial d’atténuation et d’adaptation nécessaire pour prévenir une évolution dangereuse du climat, tout en assurant une production alimentaire suffisante pour nourrir 9 milliards de personnes en 2050, et en fournissant un habitat et des moyens de subsistance aux populations rurales ainsi que divers services écosystémiques. Les dispositifs existants de déclaration et de comptabilisation des mesures d’atténuation dans le secteur foncier sont complexes, ne sont pas applicables à toutes les Parties et n’offrent guère de possibilités de mettre en oeuvre des méthodes comptables plus efficaces et économes, qui permettraient aux pays en développement de concilier des objectifs contradictoires consistant, par exemple, à faire face au changement climatique tout en augmentant leur production agricole. Ce document a deux objectifs. Le premier consiste à énoncer les éléments possibles d’une vision à long terme du cadre de déclaration et de comptabilisation des émissions et des absorptions du secteur foncier, en s’appuyant sur l’expérience acquise en matière de déclaration et de comptabilisation ainsi que sur des études antérieures. Le second est de définir les mesures qui pourraient être prises à la COP 20 en 2014, à la COP 21 en 2015 et en 2016-2020 afin d’indiquer aux Parties la voie à suivre pour concrétiser cette vision.
