"4 per 1000" Community of Practice: ABC-Map (Adaptation Biodiversity Carbon Map)

ABC-Map was designed with the specific objective of holistically assessing the environmental impacts of national policies, plans and investments in the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector through Google Earth-based satellite imagery. ABC-Map helps to develop synergies and trade-offs between climate, biodiversity and land restoration actions. The adaptation section helps to understand exposure to climate change risks and to assess climate change over time in a given area. The biodiversity section covers a series of indicators that are intended to complement each other and provide a more comprehensive view of pressures and impacts on biodiversity. The carbon section aims to account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the AFOLU sector and work towards their reduction. The overall objective of this flyer is to inform readers (i) what ABC-Map is, (ii) it's structure, and (iii) ABC-Map's partners.
