Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) is unique among the sectors considered in this volume, since the mitiga- tion potential is derived from both an enhancement of removals of greenhouse gases (GHG), as well as reduction of emissions through management of land and livestock ( robust evidence; high agreement ). The land provides food that feeds the Earth’s human population of ca. 7 billion, fibre for a variety of purposes, livelihoods for billions of people worldwide, and is a critical resource for sustain- able development in many regions. Agriculture is frequently central to the livelihoods of many social groups, especially in developing coun- tries where it often accounts for a significant share of production. In addition to food and fibre, the land provides a multitude of ecosystem services; climate change mitigation is just one of many that are vital to human well-being ( robust evidence; high agreement ). Mitigation options in the AFOLU sector, therefore, need to be assessed, as far as possible, for their potential impact on all other services provided by land.
