IN TROD UCT I ON Since 1992, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been the main international legal framework to combat climate change. In 2010, the sixteenth UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) agreed on a global target to limit global average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celcius com- pared to pre-industrial levels in order to prevent ‘dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate.’ However, annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have continued to grow, and the current trends in GHG emissions are far from ensuring that the ‘2 degree Celcius target’ will be achieved. Increased efforts and deep cuts in global GHG emissions throughout diverse sectors will be required. The agriculture, forestry, and land-use sector is an important source of GHG 7 8 emissions, representing a quarter of global GHG emissions. It is estimated that deforestation, which is particularly driven by land-use changes to expand cropped land and pasture, amounts to an alarming rate of approximately thir- teen million hectares of deforestation per year.
