Notes:

  1. One emissions unit is equivalent to one tonne of greenhouse gas emissions converted to carbon dioxide equivalents by their global warming potential (IPCC 1995).

  2. Net removals via forests offset emissions and reduce the deficit on the net position.

  3. This table shows the impact of the deforestation cap separately under policy and unit transfers, rather than being included with deforestation emissions (as in previous Net Position reports).
