Acronyms

The world of international climate negotiations is a wonderland of UN-style acronyms. My favorite is LULUCF, which stands for land use, land use change, and forestry. It's a clunky catch-all for the aspect of carbon emissions and carbon emissions mitigation that has to do, basically, with forests and other greenery - removing them (releasing emissions) or installing them (providing a carbon sink) or otherwise changing them.
