This seminar at the Japan Pavilion, COP30, will focus on research and development in terms of GHG sources and sinks, which are keys to achieving Net-Zero emissions. It will provide insights to various kinds of stakeholders about GHG monitoring by using recent scientific methods, putting emphasis on the AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) and LULUCF (Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry) sectors. The speakers from Japan will present the activities by the Forestry Agency, governmental institutes, and MOEJ, and the international speakers will present topics about AFOLU and LULUCF emissions. After the presentations, all speakers and guest panelists will be invited to have a panel discussion with the audience of the seminar. Discussion topics may include research requirements, international coordination and collaboration, and contributions to GST2 and IPCC AR7, etc.
