This report describes a methodology for Norwegian reporting under Article 3.3 and Article 3.4 (if elected) of the Kyoto protocol. The proposal is to report Afforestation/Reforestation (AR) and Deforestation (D) under Article 3.3 (mandatory) and Forest management (FM) under Article 3.4 (if elected). The reporting requirements can probably not be fulfilled if Norway also elects Cropland management (CM), Grazing land management (GM) or Revegetation (RV) under Article 3.4 (all electives) because the necessary data are unavailable and probably also unobtainable. The reason is that change in carbon pools in 1990 is needed as part of the report for these three electives. Such data, with the required quality, are not available in Norway today. Regional stratification is recommended in order to use two different approaches in two different parts of the country (here called “Lowlands” and “Highlands”). It is not recommended to stratify the Norwegian reports because it is not realistic to provide the additional statistical support (in terms of additional sampling units) needed to break the results down to meaningful regional reporting units (eg County).
