The Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative helps global and national decision-makers take actions towards a deeply decarbonized world with drastically reduced inequalities.

It is an international collaboration of experts, who share common scientific methods to elaborate robust analyses and engage with stakeholders.

The Network

We are a global network of in-country experts who share common scientific methods.
We ground our national and international engagement on the principles of being
country-driven, country-led, country-owned.

The AFOLU sector’s role in national decarbonization: a comparative analysis of low-GHG development pathways in Brazil, India and Indonesia

This paper analyses the role that AFOLU (agriculture, forest and other land use) plays in national deep decarbonization scenarios in Brazil, India and Indonesia between 2020 and 2050. It finds that the LULUCF (land use, land use change and forestry) subsector is important for medium-term mitigation (2020–2030) while continuing to contribute to mitigation over the long-term (2030–2050) in the three countries.
