It took 4 years (1997J2001) to reach agreement on definitions, modalities, rules and guidelines related to LULUCF activities under the Kyoto Protocol. In 2008, international community began to negotiate how to treat LULUCF rules for the second commitment period. The views on means to achieve mitigation objectives of Annex I Parties are summarized. The main position from developed countries is to offer more incentives to reduce emissions and enhance removals, to reduce the complexity of LULUCF rules and the costs, and to include more eligible activities under Article 3.4 of Kyoto Protocol. The aim is to utilize more carbon sinks generated by LULUCF activities to fulfill the emission reduction commitment. The main position from developing countries is to consider the emission and uptake from LULUCF activities symmetrically. At the end of this paper, suggestions on the development of LULUCF rules for the second commitment period are proposed. Key words: the second commitment period; LULUCF; rules; policy suggestions Adv.
