Where do FODC Areas Emissions originate?
Land use, land-use change and forestry is FODC largest source of emissions.
This refers to the man-made modification of land, from a natural terrestrial ecosystem, to one which serves a different purpose. Natural terrestrial ecosystems act as a carbon sink, by sequestering carbon from the air. The repurposing of this land, decreases this carbon sink, resulting in an net increase in carbon emissions.
