Projections and Pathways: The Role of Forestry and Agriculture in Achieving U.S. GHG Mitigation Goals
The forestry and agriculture activities are recognized as having substantial GHG mitigation potential, and are included in many countries’ GHG reduction commitments made as part of the Paris Agreement, including the U.S. goal of achieving net zero GHGs by 2050. For decades, EPA has developed and applied economic and biophysical models to project GHG emissions mitigation potential associated with various abatement activities in the agriculture and forestry sectors for use in U.S. government policy negotiations and reports. This talk discusses how those projections are developed and used, and presents newly produced estimates for lands-based GHG mitigation in the U.S. over the next several decades, with particular focus on results in 2050.
