7,801 | AR6_WGIII | 902 | 40 | Following changes in land conditions, CO 2, CH 4 and N 2O fluxes are quickly mixed into the atmosphere and dispersed, resulting in the biogeochemical effects being dominated by the biophysical effects at local scales | high | 2 | train |
7,802 | AR6_WGIII | 911 | 12 | If implemented at appropriate scales and in a sustainable manner, land-based mitigation practices have the capacity to reduce emissions and sequester billions of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere over coming decades, while also preserving or enhancing biodiversity, water quality and supply, air quality, soil fertility, food and wood security, livelihoods, resilience to droughts, floods and other natural disasters, and positively contributing to ecosystem health and human well-being | high | 2 | train |
7,803 | AR6_WGIII | 911 | 25 | The SRCCL assessed the full range of technical, economic and sustainability mitigation potentials in AFOLU for the period 2030–2050 and identified reduced deforestation and forest degradation to have greatest potential for reducing supply-side emissions (0.4 to 5.8 GtCO 2-eq yr–1) (high confidence) followed by combined agriculture measures, 0.3 to 3.4 GtCO 2-eq yr–1 | medium | 1 | train |

7,806 | AR6_WGIII | 913 | 30 | The feasibility of implementing AFOLU mitigation measures, including those with multiple co-benefits, depends on varying economic, technological, institutional, socio- cultural, environmental and geophysical barriers | high | 2 | train |
7,807 | AR6_WGIII | 916 | 1 | Reducing deforestation and forest degradation represents one of the most effective options for climate change mitigation, with technical potential estimated at 0.4–5.8 GtCO 2 yr–1 by 2050 | high | 2 | train |
7,808 | AR6_WGIII | 916 | 28 | Based on studies since AR5, the technical mitigation potential for reducing deforestation and degradation is significant, providing 4.5 (2.3–7) GtCO 2 yr–1 globally by 2050, of which 3.4 (2.3–6.4) GtCO 2 yr–1 is available at below USD100 tCO 2–1 | medium | 1 | train |

7,821 | AR6_WGIII | 940 | 9 | In line with these SDG targets, it is estimated that reducing FLW can free up several million km2 of land | high | 2 | train |
7,822 | AR6_WGIII | 940 | 44 | Regionally, FLW reduction is feasible anywhere but its potential needs to be understood in a wider and changing socio-cultural context that determines nutrition | high | 2 | train |
7,823 | AR6_WGIII | 941 | 16 | The SRCCL (Chapters 2 and 6) finds that some studies indicate significant mitigation potentials for material substitution, but concludes that the global, technical mitigation potential for material substitution for construction applications ranges from 0.25–1 GtCO 2-eq yr–1 | medium | 1 | train |
7,824 | AR6_WGIII | 949 | 12 | The total amounts to 0.66 GtCO 2 yr–1 for the period 2010–2019, which is 1.2% of total global, and 5.5% of AFOLU emissions reported in Table 7.1, over the same time period | high | 2 | train |
7,825 | AR6_WGIII | 951 | 3 | In total, reported funding for AFOLU projects and programmes has been USD4.4 billion over the past decade, or about USD569 million yr–1 | low | 0 | train |
7,826 | AR6_WGIII | 951 | 8 | Despite widespread effort, AFOLU measures have thus far failed to achieve the large potential for climate mitigation described in earlier IPCC WG III reports | high | 2 | train |
7,827 | AR6_WGIII | 951 | 9 | The limited gains from AFOLU to date appear largely to result from lack of investment and other institutional and social barriers, rather than methodological concerns | high | 2 | train |
7,828 | AR6_WGIII | 951 | 49 | A large literature has investigated whether PES programmes have successfully protected habitats. Despite concerns, the many lessons learned from PES programme implementation provide critical information that will help policymakers refine future PES programmes to increase their effectiveness | medium | 1 | test |
7,829 | AR6_WGIII | 952 | 28 | When combined with increased non-CO 2 gas emissions, the emission intensity of US agriculture increased from 1.5 to 1.7 tCO 2 ha–1 between 2005 and 2018 | high | 2 | train |

7,835 | AR6_WGIII | 957 | 46 | The protocols to quantify emission reductions in the agricultural sector are available and have been tested, and the main limitation appears to be the lack of available financing or the unwillingness to re-direct current subsidies | medium | 1 | train |
7,836 | AR6_WGIII | 958 | 15 | The presence of significant subsidy programmes intended to improve farmer welfare and rural livelihoods makes it more difficult to implement regulatory programmes aimed at reducing net emissions in agriculture, however, it may increase the potential to implement new subsidy programmes that encourage practices aimed at reducing net emissions | medium | 1 | train |
7,837 | AR6_WGIII | 959 | 7 | It is argued that a carbon tax on only fossil fuel derived emissions, may lead to massive deployment of bioenergy, although the effects of such a policy can be mitigated when combined with policies that encourage sustainable forest management and protection of forest carbon stocks as well as forest management certification | high | 2 | train |
7,838 | AR6_WGIII | 959 | 17 | However, if private markets emerge for biomass and BECCS on the scale suggested in the SR1.5, policy efforts must ramp up to substantially value, encourage, and protect terrestrial carbon stocks and ecosystems to avoid outcomes inconsistent with many SDGs | high | 2 | train |
7,839 | AR6_WGIII | 960 | 1 | The lack of resources thus far committed to implementing AFOLU mitigation, income and access to alternative sources of income in rural households that rely on agriculture or forests for their livelihoods remains a considerable barrier to adoption of AFOLU | high | 2 | train |

7,842 | AR6_WGIII | 961 | 5 | AR6 presents new estimates of the mitigation potential for shifts in diets and reductions in food waste, but given long-standing dietary traditions within most cultures, some of the strongest barriers exist for efforts to change diets | medium | 1 | train |

7,844 | AR6_WGIII | 962 | 9 | Climate is expected to reduce crop yields, increase crop and livestock prices, and increase pressure on undisturbed forest land for food production creating new barriers and increasing costs for implementation of many nature-based mitigation techniques | medium | 1 | train |
7,845 | AR6_WGIII | 962 | 27 | Factors that reduce permanence or slow forest growth will drive up costs of forest mitigation measures, suggesting that climate change presents a formidable challenge to implementation of nature-based solutions beyond 2030 | high | 2 | train |

7,865 | AR6_WGIII | 1,052 | 36 | Moreover, the potential application of blockchain for land-based funding instruments is possibly associated with urban form attributes, such as density, compactness, and land-use mixture, to disincentivise urban expansion and emissions growth around city-fringe locations | medium | 1 | train |
