PIMA-AFOLU: Policy Inventory for Mitigation Actions in Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Sectors

PIMA-AFOLU covers two types of policies:

• Direct mitigation policies: policies that intentionally aim to reduce GHG emissions or enhance carbon stocks.
• Indirect mitigation policies: policies that have targets other than mitigation, however can contribute to GHGs emission reduction or sequestration. For example, policies that aim to reduce pollution may also decrease GHG emissions and policies that promote nature conservation can also contribute to carbon storage in soils or biomass and thus sequester carbon.

PIMA-AFOLU is organised in six main sections of information: i) policy identification (policy name, country of implementation, policy description, and link to the source), ii) policy instrument typology, iii) sectors and domains, iv) mode of mitigation, v) policy targets, vi) supplementary information (who administers the policy, start and end dates, and budgetary information).
