This document discusses Africa's opportunities for low-carbon, climate-resilient development in the agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) sector. It notes that AFOLU is responsible for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and provides livelihoods for many in Africa. While AFOLU emissions have increased in recent decades, the sector also offers significant mitigation potential through practices like improved forest and land management, sustainable agriculture, and bioenergy. Realizing this potential faces challenges around food security, access to finance and technology, and managing risks and trade-offs. Robust measurement, reporting and verification systems will also be needed to account for emissions across forests and non-forest lands.
