The land-use sector within the post-2020 climate regime

 Project-level sectoral baselines: Countries may also choose to engage in project-level sectoral approaches. Currently, these project-based mechanisms are limited in scope and follow different rules for developed (JI) and developing (CDM) countries. A project-level sectoral approach would expand upon and harmonize current project level methodologies.  Policies and measures: Finally, countries that either elect not to, or do not have the ability to announce mitigation goals could commit to adopt policies and measures to reduce land-use emissions. The degree of comparability and consistency between these systems including the fungibility of allowances and potential credits issued under the various approaches would be a matter of negotiation. In all cases, where credits are issued and used towards mitigation targets of other countries, rules that determine eligibility are likely to apply. All approaches would have to consider issues of non-permanence and subnational systems would also have to provide strategies to address leakage.

Economywide or sectoral targets

Following a similar approach to REDD+ or NAMAs for countries without economy-wide targets

National or subnational sectoral baselines

Project level baselines

Equivalent to phase II REDD+ for countries that lack capacity for resultsbased payments

Along the lines of LULUCF with varying degrees of fungibility between land use and industrial emissions

A CDM-like approach for countries that are unable to develop sectoral baselines
