Germany
Germany is a large highly populated, and highly developed country. Whereas agriculture is not its major economical activity, farming is well developed and highly mechanized. Land competition is an issue in Germany, as most of its territory is dedicated to productive activities. The LMTs considered in Germany are peatland management, avoided grassland conversion, afforestation/reforestation, and forest management.
Germany’s Scenarios for Land Based Mitigation – A Summary for Policymakers
We’ve identified a portfolio of land-based mitigation technologies and practices (LMTs for short) that stakeholders across Germany’s land-use sector consider to be the best suited to the German context.
These include BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage), afforestation, forest management, conservation of carbon in agricultural mineral soils, and preservation of carbon in organic soils and wetlands.
Introduction: Forest Management, Germany
How can forestry, forest restoration, and conservation in Germany contribute to climate change mitigation? This case study aims to find an answer.
