LULUCF is the acronym widely used to refer to “Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry”. LULUCF is a sector under the Kyoto Protocol that covers emissions resulting from direct human-induced land use, land-use change and forestry activities. In particular, LULUCF covers cropland and grazing land management, land clearing and forest management in developed countries.
Several Articles of the Kyoto Protocol make provisions for the inclusion of land use, land-use change and forestry activities by Parties as part of their efforts to implement the Kyoto Protocol. However the exact GHG accounting standards and considerations relating to national inventories continue to evolve and are still subject to debate in COP negotiations.
