Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Land use, land-use change and forestry?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF), also referred to as Forestry and other land use (FOLU) or Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU),[3] [4]: 65 is defined as a "greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use such as settlements and commercial uses, land-use change, and forestry activities."[5]
LULUCF has impacts on the global carbon cycle and as such, these activities can add or remove carbon dioxide (or, more generally, carbon) from the atmosphere, influencing climate.[6] LULUCF has been the subject of two major reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), but is difficult to measure.[7]: 12 Additionally, land use is of critical importance for biodiversity.[8]
