Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change
Details of Pillar 2 Public consultation meetings
February-March 2007

Pillar 2 in detail• Two key elements of Pillar 2:
– Reducing emissions (agriculture and deforestation)– Enhancing forest sinks
• Agriculture: – Limited solutions, but some solutions around nitrous oxide (strong
water quality co-benefits), – Also research, technology transfer, voluntary reporting
• Deforestation: – Difficult, but urgent (strong co-benefits in some areas)
• Afforestation: – Some good solutions available, building on PFSI (strong co-
benefits for sustainable land management)

9. RMA standards to control new agricultural land use after deforestation
Controlling the greenhouse gas emissions and other effects arising from land use change from
forestry to agriculture
10. Charge where deforested land is used for agriculture
Impose a charge on agriculture emissions created when land is
converted from forestry to agriculture
Government pricing mechanisms Market-based mechanisms
4. Incentive for nitrification inhibitors
Pay a financial incentive to encourage the use of nitrogen
inhibitors
6. Tradable permit regime for agriculture emissions
Devolution of agriculture greenhouse gas emission obligations and permits to
farmers
Price-based measures
5. Charge on nitrogen fertiliserImpose a charge on nitrogen
fertilisers
1. ResearchResearch into adaptation, mitigation and measurement technologies and practices
for methane and nitrous oxide
Research, technology transfer and voluntary reporting
2. Technology transferUse of demonstration farms to promote adoption of mitigation technologies e.g. nitrogen inhibitors, nutrient budgeting,
improved forage crops
3. Voluntary reportingVoluntary reporting of emissions at the
farm level
7. Offset schemes for agricultural emissions
Farmers required to offset emissions by emission reductions elsewhere i.e. tree
planting, biofuels etc
Regulation
8. RMA standards to control agricultural greenhouse gas emissions
Development of a National Environmental Standard to control agricultural greenhouse gas
emissions: i.e. input and/or output controls
