The achievement of international goals and national commitments related to forest conservation management, climate change, sustainable development requires credible, accurate, reliable monitoring stocks changes in biomass carbon. Most prominently, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals particular require data monitor progress. Unprecedented opportunities provide are created by a series upcoming space-based missions, many which open targeted at...
Abstract Reductions in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are urgently needed to avoid the most catastrophic consequences warming. Reducing deforestation and forest degradation presents a climate change mitigation opportunity critical meeting Paris Agreement goals. One strategy for decreasing carbon emissions from forests is provide developing countries with results-based financial incentives reducing deforestation: nearly two billion dollars currently committed finance such...
Abstract For monitoring and reporting forest carbon stocks fluxes, many countries in the tropics subtropics rely on default values of aboveground biomass (AGB) from Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. Default IPCC AGB originated 2006, are relatively crude estimates average per continent ecological zone. The 2006 were based limited plot data available at time, methods their derivation not fully clear, no distinction between...
Abstract Miombo woodlands are integral to livelihoods across southern Africa, biodiversity in the region, and global carbon cycle, making accurate precise monitoring of their state change essential. Here, we assembled a terrestrial airborne lidar dataset covering 50 kha intact degraded miombo woodlands, generated aboveground biomass estimates with low uncertainty via direct 3D measurements forest structure. We found 1.71 ± 0.09 TgC was stored this landscape, between 1.5 2.2 times more than...
Abstract The enforcement of labor informality is subject to electoral motivations, and political parties on the left right have different incentives do so. While leftist governments are more lenient not harm their informal electorate, right-wing incumbents face an dilemma: part its constituency that benefits from work in favor a permissive attitude, but another section demands tough hand deal with unfair competition represents. Taking Chile as case study drawing panel data inspections, this...
Reducing deforestation and forest degradation presents a climate-change mitigation opportunity that is critical to meeting the Paris Agreement goals, achieving reductions in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Emissions from Deforestation Forest Degradation (REDD) provides developing countries with results-based financial incentives for reducing through either non-market payments (payments without generation carbon credits), or market-based mechanisms (carbon credits)....
REDD+ implementation requires robust, consistent, accurate and transparent national land cover historical data monitoring systems. Satellite imagery is the only source with enough periodicity to provide consistent information in a cost-effective way. The main aim of this paper creation an operational framework for dynamics based on Landsat open-source software. methodology integrates entire change mapping processes produce series Land Cover maps. consistency time achieved through application...
Four workshops and a webinar series were organized, with the aim of building capacity in countries to use Earth Observation Remote Sensing data monitor forest cover changes measure emissions reductions for REDD+ results-based payments. Webinars covered variety relevant tools methods. The initiative was collaboratively organised by number Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) partner institutions funding from World Bank’s Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF). collaborative approach...
The oxygen reduction reaction (orr) was studied on CG/PPy/PPy(Ox)/PPy and CG/paint/CC(Ox)PPy composite electrodes, CG representing conducting glass, PPy polypyrrole, CC carbon cloth Ox mixed valence spinel oxide particles of transition metals Cu 1.4 Mn 1.6 O 4 in 0.2 M KCl pH = 9.2, at room temperature.PPy is electrochemically polymerized serves as a protective layer to dispersed the cloth.Oxide size varied from 7.6 11.2 µm.The orr takes place with formation hydrogen peroxide which diffuses...
