Proposed new subsection on LULUCF:
35. Definitions, modalities, rules and guidelines for the treatment of land use, land use change and forestry under the Kyoto Protocol shall apply to all [developed country Parties].
36. The net changes in greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks resulting from direct human-induced land-use change and forestry activities, limited to afforestation, reforestation and deforestation since 1990, measured as verifiable changes in carbon stocks in the commitment period referred to in subparagraph (a) above, shall be used to meet the commitments under subparagraph (a) above of each Party included in Annex I. The greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks associated with those activities shall be reported in a transparent and verifiable manner and reviewed.
37. The greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks resulting from additional humaninduced land use, land-use change and forestry activities may be used to meet the commitments under subparagraph (a) above of each Party included in Annex I, provided that these activities have taken place since 1990.
38. The [Supreme body of this Agreement] shall decide prior to the commencement of the commitment period 2013 to [20xx] upon modalities, rules and guidelines for accounting the LULUCF category of Annex B.
39. For the purposes of calculation of a Partys assigned amount in accordance with [paragraph x], a Party may exclude non-anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and removals (non-direct human induced and natural emissions and removals) on lands subject to activities in the land use, land-use change and forestry category of Annex B.
40. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session, decide upon modalities, rules and guidelines related to the issues referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, taking into account uncertainties, transparency in reporting, verifiability, the methodological work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and the decisions of the Conference of the Parties.
41. The [Supreme body of this Agreement] shall decide the modalities and procedures for enabling the Parties to account for anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the land sector on the basis of the land-use categories of the Convention, in time for their application in the commitment period following the period 2013 to [20xx]. ]
