Nepal is a lower-middle-income country with highly diverse ecosystems. Its net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are estimated to be 31.99 MT Co2 eq per year, equivalent to 0.06% of global emission. The top three potential land-use based mitigation technologies (LMTs) are reforestation, forest management and rice management. Reliable and consistent data for the analysis of the mitigation potential from the land-use sector in Nepal is lacking. Therefore, the LMTs with the highest potential are dry seeded rice cultivation, afforestation/reforestation and forest management, agroforestry and organic farming.
