For many Parties, climate change would reduce land cover, displace change ecosystems and species composition, and lead to loss of biodiversity.

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

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