Due to recent changes in the inventory reporting guidelines for the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, a new version of the software was released in early September 2005.

In general, Parties provided limited information on the methodologies used in the land use change and forestry (LUCF) sector.

In general, each team comprises a generalist' who covers cross cutting inventory issues and one or two experts for each inventory sector energy, industrial processes, agriculture, waste, and land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF).

4 This technical guidance does not cover the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, guidance for which will be completed, in accordance with decision 21 CP.7, after completion of the IPCC good practice guidance on LULUCF.

However, the SBSTA continued to work on the methodologies for adjustment for the land use, land use change and forestry sector, which resulted in a draft decision forwarded for adoption by the COP at its eleventh session (see FCCC SBSTA 2005 4 Add.1).

Recalling that Parties have affirmed that the principles in decision CMP.1 (Land use, land use change and forestry) govern the treatment of land use, land use change and forestry activities in the annex to that decision,

In addition to Governments' role in land use planning and natural resources use, and the provision of public utilities, essential to complementing any private sector initiative in the areas of waste management, use of natural resources (energy and water) and pollution prevention, Governments can also play an instrumental role in building capacity of the private sector.

In the specific case of land for the family sector, the law recognizes that a family aggregate as right to land in as far as the use of land is concerned, and that land can be registered only in the name of the head of the household.

Instead, the land use change and forestry sector is the biggest source of emissions (more than half of total GHG emissions in 1994), mainly due to desertification.

CMP.1 Land use, land use change and forestry (FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.1)

Affirms that the following principles govern the treatment of land use, land use change and forestry activities

Noting that reporting methods contained in chapter 4 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry should ensure that areas of land subject to land use, land use change and forestry activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, are identifiable.

(b) Land use and desertification

Definitions, modalities, rules and guidelines relating to land use, land use change and forestry activities under the Kyoto Protocol

The land categories shall be consistent with those defined in chapter 2 (Basis for consistent representation of land areas) of the IPCC Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry.

Definitions For land use, land use change and forestry activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, the following definitions shall apply

b. Land use planning and management and

Amendments to the draft decision on land use, land use change and forestry (Text B in FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.1)

Article 12 The eligibility of land use, land use change and forestry project activities under Article 12 is limited to afforestation and reforestation.

16. Also encourages the increased involvement of local authorities, as well as other relevant stakeholders, including civil society and the private sector, in the development and implementation of programmes, land use planning and land tenure arrangements, and activities related to sustainable development in mountains

A long term programme had been designed to enhance the agriculture sector, which was beset by low productivity and underemployment, and a land bank was being established to allocate land to landless peasants and freed bond labourers in order to promote productive use of farmland.

Efficient land use management could be enhanced through computerization of land records and data.

(a) Sustainable energy use in the Canadian agriculture sector is currently limited.

As for names in land use certificates, the State has concrete measures that ensure both wife and husband has names in land use certificate.

Tables of the common reporting format for land use, land use change and forestry and related tables (tables Summary 2, table 8 (a) (recalculations)

With regard to old land use certificates that only put names of the heads of households, local authorities will issue new land use certificates that bear names of both husband and wife as request The 2003 amended Land Law also provides for that land use certificate must bear names of both husband and wife if the land use right is their shared property (Article 48).

Land use and water security are firmly linked.

Land use right for women in rural areas

It provides methodological input on mitigation of climate change, land use, land use change and forestry, fuels used in international aviation and maritime transport and emission projections.

One activity of priority to the private sector is the formalization of land titles.

Finally, farmers rights need to be protected, the efficiency of land use must be increased, and policies for acquisition of rural land for urban use should be overhauled.

FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.1 Decisions concerning land use, land use change and forestry, and matters relating to Article 3, paragraph 14, of the Kyoto Protocol

Evidently, and according to the scheme described above, both regarding the official Land Law and to the Customary Law, put those in need of land for use, or who want to continue exercising their rights to use land, too many barriers for land ownership.

The role of satellite data and GIS techniques in land use is exemplified by a study undertaken to establish optimum land use in the Irbid area by investigating the geomorphological, topographical, land cover and agricultural aspects of the area.

Therefore, both land use right certificate and the local land administration book only have the name of household's head.

Flexible land policies could facilitate cost effective and productive use of land contributing to economic development and poverty reduction.

Consequently, the majority of land and property disputes are mediated by the non formal justice sector.

(3) if the land is assigned, the enterprise shall buy the land use right and pay the assignment fee and

The treatment of land use, land use change and forestry project activities under Article 12 in future commitment periods shall be decided as part of the negotiations on the second commitment period.
