My group is modeling the Democratic Republic of Congo and a possible GHG-mitigation scenario. As a part of this scenario, we are planning to avoid a great deal of deforestation, which occurs on a regular basis there.
How would we model that in LEAP? And how could we have the associated emissions included? Would we create a 'Wood' Resource and an activity called 'Deforestation'? I ask because most of the regular activities fall under 'Demand' or 'Transformation' or 'Production'. But this one doesn't fall into any categories.
Thank you!

It's most appropriate to include those emissions as "non-energy effect loadings" in LEAP. This is a separate option under the Scope tab of Basic Parameters. For additional information, please review this help page:

Hope this helps,
