Cartographie par satellite des changements dans la séquestration du carbone forestier
COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE - Le Biomass Carbon Monitor, un tout nouvel outil unique au monde, suit les variations de la capacité des forêts à réduire le carbone présent dans l’atmosphère. Chaque année depuis 2011, près de 760 millions de tonnes (Mt) de carbone ont disparu de l’atmosphère grâce aux forêts. En Chine, les politiques de reforestation et de gestion forestière ont eu une influence majeure sur l’amélioration de la séquestration du carbone par la végétation au cours des dernières années.

Regen10 was announced on Tuesday 2. It is an ambitious collective action plan to scale regenerative food production systems, worldwide, in a decade. The initiative will put farmers at the heart of a global effort to transform agricultural systems, so that by 2030, over 50% of the world’s food can be produced in a way that drives positive outcomes for people, for nature, and for climate. A broad alliance has come together to deliver the initiative, including: World Farmers Organisation, Eastern Africa Farmers Federation, Food & Land Use Coalition, World Bank Group, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), SYSTEMIQ, IMAGINE, We Mean Business Coalition, Future Stewards, OP2B, Sustainable Food Trust (Global Farm Metric), and Club of Rome.

COP26 : les pays les plus pauvres dénoncent l’absence de progrès
Après les grands discours et les quelques annonces - notamment autour de la déforestation et de la lutte contre le méthane - qui ont ponctué le début de la COP26, les négociations rentrent désormais dans le dur. Mais elles risquent d'être particulièrement tendues alors que les pays les moins avancés estiment que les efforts ne sont pas au rendez-vous, notamment en ce qui concerne les 100 milliards de dollars qui devaient leur être versés chaque année à compter de 2020. Ils souhaitent aussi mettre sur la table la question des pertes et dommages.

REDD+ Tools & Methodologies for Transparency
November 2021
[Source Nature4Climate]
The UNFCCC hosted an event on REDD+ Tools and Methodologies critical for achieving transparency under the Paris Agreement. Representatives from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN), and the Global Forest Observation Initiative (GFOI) showcased the systems they have available for assisting countries in data collection and analysis, both for the purpose of reporting to international organizations and for domestic policy development. The various tools highlighted the diversity and flexibility available to countries looking to gather and understand data from the AFOLU sectors--whether they are using spacial or statistical data, interested in forest cover or GHG inventories, looking to establish baselines or track progress, the new datasets and methodologies are useful for a wide variety of purposes. While some countries (particularly China and Saudi Arabia) are attempting to walk back their agreements on the Katowice rulebook to report on quantitative progress in achieving their NDCs in the official negotiations, this the event highlighted how easy it is for countries to access open-source, free tools that allow them to design their own systems to increase transparency and track implementation. Check out some of the tools and datasets available online:

Capital for Climate launched its climate-investment intelligence platform. The Capital for Climate intelligence platform enables allocators to see the landscape of climate investment opportunities in one place—so that they can build strategy, navigate, source, and execute on investments aligned with science-based pathways to holding global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The pilot version focuses on nature-based solutions in Regenerative and Sustainable Agriculture, Forests, Land Use, and the Blue Economy. For the purposes of the pilot launch, the platform has focused on these areas because they are strategic, urgent, and offer investment opportunities today--yet are the least understood by investors.

The Climate Action Tracker is an independent scientific analysis that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C." A collaboration of two organisations, Climate Analytics and New Climate Institute, the CAT has been providing this independent analysis to policymakers since 2009.
