However, LULUCF can also make a significant contribution to the reduction of GHGs, by increasing the carbon storage of terrestrial ecosystems (carbon sequestration), by conserving existing carbon stocks (e.g. by avoiding deforestation or land degradation), and by providing renewable energy (biomass ...
