摘要：A common paradigm when the reduction of emissions from deforestations is estimated for
the purpose of promoting it as a mitigation option in the context of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is that high uncertainties in input
data—i.e., area change and C stock change/area—may seriously undermine the credibility
of the estimates and therefore of reduced deforestation as a mitigation option. In this paper, we show how a series of concepts and methodological tools—already existing
in UNFCCC decisions and IPCC guidance documents—may greatly help to deal with the
uncertainties of the estimates of reduced emissions from deforestation.
