Help MPI and investors to better understand forest land use classifications in New Zealand.
The objectives of this project are twofold, and are expected to be segregated into two parts:
• Part 1: To improve our current spatial understanding of Pre-1990 forest land, and
• Part 2: To provide greater confidence of ‘likely’ post-1989 forest land eligibility and classification for investors and MPI.
The project outputs would be used to update the national land use spatial dataset (LUCAS) and enable MPI to better understand what the potential is to increase afforestation. The output of this project would be one step towards creating more definitive forest land use classification maps in New Zealand. A publishable dataset and report detailing the approach, purpose, results and limitations is required along with a presentation to officials.
The New Zealand land use map produced by the LUCAS programme is an important dataset which has large impacts on both our international and domestic climate change policy. Improving this land use map will improve the accuracy of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas accounting as well as improve the administration of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. These are coming under increased scrutiny internationally (as we negotiate the land use accounting details) and domestically (as highlighted by the current NZ ETS review).
For part 1 MPI need a review of the approximately 200,000 hectares of Pre-1990 forest land that did not receive an allocation or exemption to determine its status (i.e. whether it is actually pre-1990 forest land, or should be classified as post-1989 forest or some other land/forest category within the existing LUM classes).
For part 2 the requirement is to:
• review the land within LUM that has the LUCAS classification of ‘grassland with woody biomass’ to more accurately determine its status under the ETS (i.e. if it were over-planted in forest species, would it be considered eligible to be registered as post-1989 forest land in the ETS OR does it already meet the forest definition under ETS and as such should be re-classified as post-1989 forest land), and
• identify land as in-eligible for inclusion in the NZ ETS, including land with environmental limiting factors.
