LULUCF

LULUCF, which stands for Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry, refers to activities that involve managing and changing how land is used, such as planting forests, farming, or urban development. It recognizes the role of land in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (like forests acting as carbon sinks) or releasing it (such as deforestation or land degradation). Including LULUCF in climate efforts helps account for how land-based actions influence global greenhouse gas levels, making it an important part of strategies to reduce climate change impacts.
