The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.

GACMO includes enhanced reporting features aligned with Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).

The tool currently contains 119 mitigation options (each having corresponding “technology tables”), including 12 mitigation options within the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector.

Technology tables provide technical and economic descriptions of both the reference (baseline) option and the mitigation option, along with estimates of emission reductions and abatement costs.

Abatement costs are expressed as annualized costs in USD per tonne of emissions avoided.

GACMO to estimate marginal abatement revenue (MAR) curves.

AFOLU component of the tool by updating existing technology tables, reviewing methodologies and assumptions, and developing additional

AFOLU mitigation options based on internationally recognized methodologies for estimating emission reduction and the latest scientific evidence.

AFOLU mitigation options and associated technology tables.

• Revision of technical, economic and emissions-related parameters using the latest data and methodologies.

GACMO.

• Support the enhancement of AFOLU-related activity data and emission factor approaches within the tool.

IPCC Guidelines for national GHG inventories and international mitigation accounting methodologies.

GACMO and assess: • Technical assumptions and default parameters.

• Activity data requirements.

• Emission factors and carbon stock assumptions.

• Cost assumptions, including investment, operation and maintenance costs, benefits or revenue streams.

• Mitigation potential calculations.

The review shall identify gaps, outdated assumptions, and opportunities for improvement.

AFOLU technology tables by: • Incorporating updated technical and economic parameters.

• Applying the latest available scientific literature and international databases.

• Updating emission reduction calculation methodologies where required.

Based on this assessment, propose a list of additional mitigation measures for inclusion in GACMO, focusing on widely adopted or planned to be adopted in the long term, commercially available, and proven technologies and best practices within the

AFOLU sector.

Potential areas may include: • Afforestation and reforestation.

• Forest restoration.

• Agroforestry.

• Improved forest management.

• Climate-smart agriculture.

• Conservation agriculture.

• Soil carbon sequestration.

• Sustainable livestock management.

• Methane reduction practices.

• Peatland restoration.

• Mangrove restoration.

• Reduced deforestation and degradation activities.

For each selected option, prepare a complete technology table containing: • Technical description (necessary for calculating emission reduction).

• Define two sets of parameters for each mitigation measure: o the reference option, representing conditions before the technology or practice is adopted o the mitigation option, representing conditions after the technology or practice has been implemented.

• Activity data for reference option and mitigation option.

• Emission reduction methodology (e.g. estimated as a difference between emissions in the reference option and mitigation option).

• Emission factors and carbon stock parameters.

• Investment cost, Operating and Maintenance Costs, Benefits or Revenues (if applicable).

• Recommendations on sector-specific growth factors and projection methods.

• Guidance on avoiding double counting between activity data and direct emissions inputs.
