The report discusses:

- Alternative definitions and provides possible framework definitions for countries to consider;

- Methodological options to inventory emissions from degradation and devegetation activities;

- Approaches to reporting and documentation; and

- Implications of methodological and definitional options for accounting under the provisions of Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol (including issues of scale, costs and accuracy).

- Guidance on possible methodologies for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions or removals provided in this report draws substantively on the GPG-LULUCF.
