This paper presents the second analysis of the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use Mitigation Project (AFOLU MP) database. The original analysis published in November 2010 in the second volume of the MICCA Series contained information on 497 AFOLU mitigation projects gathered from 11 different registries, both crediting scheme registries and third party databases. This follow‐up study includes 78 new projects from 12 different registries. As with the first publication, this paper summarizes the insights that have been gained from the analysis of the updated database. It specifically comments on the emerging gaps in the climate change agenda as regards AFOLU projects in developing countries.
