 In partnership with UN-REDD agencies, the World Bank, and CGIAR institutions, the Terrestrial Carbon Group is assessing the scientific and technical advancements needed, globally and in specific regions, to maximize terrestrial carbon mitigation and to document and reward outcomes. Implementation of terrestrial carbon emission reduction and sequestration activities can and does occur across a wide range of geographic scales and land classes. This requires a coherent, integrated information base for effective land management practices that produce real increases in sequestration together with real reductions in GHG emissions from terrestrial sources, and, transparent, consistent, and comparable quantification of changes in carbon stocks.
