Carmenza Robledo from Intercooperation Switzerland was selected as one of the lead authors for the IPCC AR5 WG III "Mitigation", chapter Agriculture, Forestry and other Land Uses (AFOLU). This chapter is part of the section Pathways for Mitigating Climate Change. She organzied together with ProClim- a Workshop with interested experts in the field. The objective of the meeting was to get an overview of the research in AFOLU undertaken in Switzerland since the publication of the IPCC AR4 in 2007. During the meeting the Swiss researchers had the opportunity to present their recent scientific work on AFOLU and the expected results before the end of 2012. Discussions and clarifications regarding ongoing research as well as a discussion on AFOLU issues were very helpful for all participants.
