Ecuador presents many opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agriculture, land use, and forestry sectors. The country has committed to reducing its emissions from land use change by 1.7 million metric tons (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) annually, unconditional on any donor investment, and by an additional 6.7 MtCO2e provided sufficient additional investment. An assessment of 16 potential land-based mitigation opportunities found that the total cost-effective potential in Ecuador was in fact about 33.6 MtCO2e annually. That estimate only includes activities that would not have negative impacts on biodiversity or on food and fiber supply.
