Land use, land-use change, and forestry

This article is about the greenhouse gas inventory category. For more general information, see Land use, Land-use change, and Forestry.
The period since 1950 has brought "the most rapid transformation of the human relationship with the natural world in the history of humankind".[1] Almost one-third of the world's forests, and almost two-thirds of its grassland, have been lost to human agriculture—which now occupies almost half the world's habitable land.[2]

Land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF), also referred to as Forestry and other land use (FOLU) or Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU),[3] [4]: 65  is defined as a "greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use such as settlements and commercial uses, land-use change, and forestry activities."[5]

LULUCF has impacts on the global carbon cycle and as such, these activities can add or remove carbon dioxide (or, more generally, carbon) from the atmosphere, influencing climate.[6] LULUCF has been the subject of two major reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), but is difficult to measure.[7]: 12  Additionally, land use is of critical importance for biodiversity.[8]
