Book (stand-alone)National Forest Monitoring Systems: Monitoring and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (M & MRV) in the context of REDD+ Activities
UN-REDD Programme
2013Also available in:
No results found.This document builds on the brief paper presented at the 7th Meeting of the UN-REDD Programme Policy Board, held in Berlin, October 2011 (UNREDD/PB7/2011/13), which lays out ways to consider the REDD+ monitoring and information provision needs in the broader context of national development and environmental strategies, at the implementation level. The purpose of this document is to describe the elements in National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMSs) as they relate to REDD+ under the United Nation s Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and to describe the UN-REDD Programme approach to Monitoring and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (M & MRV) requirements. This paper is presented in a series of sections discussing the various elements of relevant texts of the UNFCCC and the methodological recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This approach aims to allow the end-user to consider the implications of the implementation of REDD+ activities in distinct national contexts, and the various steps involved. -
DocumentForest Monitoring and Assessment for Climate Change Reporting: Partnerships, Capacity Building and Delivery 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This working paper was prepared in light of the upcoming Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in December 2007 to inform about the status and ongoing efforts in the field of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting at national and international levels. Part I is a review of partnerships between FAO and countries for building capacity and supporting implementation of forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, to meet requirements at national and international levels. At national level, FA O works with countries to establish long-term and robust monitoring systems, based on systematic field sampling and data collection. At international level, FAO supports countries to report to the Global Forest Resources Assessments, which is the leading global reporting process on forests, their management and use. Part II presents basic requirements for national forest monitoring systems, seen from a broader policy context. It reviews the current status in countries with respect to two variabl es that are important for climate change reporting – forest area changes and forest carbon stock. It is concluded that in most developing countries the quality of current forest monitoring would not be satisfactory for an accounting system of carbon credits. However, it is also suggested that investment in national forest monitoring is attracting greater interest, as exemplified by the increasing number of countries requesting support from FAO. FAO continues to work in close collaboration with i ts member countries to improve forest monitoring, assessment and reporting, including helping them to meet requirements for forest carbon reporting. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System in Support of REDD+ in Bangladesh"
Project code: GCP/BGD/058/USA
2023Also available in:
No results found.The evaluation of “Strengthening National Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System in support of REDD+ in Bangladesh”, funded by the United States, concluded that the new Bangladesh Forest Inventory and Satellite Land Monitoring System developed under this project will greatly improve the consistency and standing of reporting by Bangladesh, including those for forest resources assessment, SDGs and REDD+. The methodologies developed under the project were of a very high standard and greatly improved the monitoring and reporting by the Bangladesh Forest Department and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The Land Cover Classification System is impressive, transforming how land cover mapping will be accomplished in Bangladesh and how results will be comparable across many applications. The evaluation is recommending FAO to pursue the dissemination of knowledge and exert influence over the use of the results in forest management programmes and policies. FAO should identify potential forest "hotspot" areas for action and start planning the support to the next National Forest Inventory.
