ProjectSupporting Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) - GCP/GLO/933/MUL 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) is an informal partnership designed to facilitate coordination among international partners and developing countries that seek to improve their capacity in National Forest Monitoring Systems and associated emissions measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) procedures. The GFOI Office is responsible for the overall coordination and administration of GFOI and, since late 2015, has been based at FAO headquarters in Rome. The aim of the current project was to provide secretariat services and day to day oversight of the broader GFOI partnership on behalf of its members, components and activities. The project would function as a focal point for the Initiative, facilitate its overall operations and ultimately help its partners to deliver coordinated support on forest monitoring and MRV in a targeted, efficient and effective manner. -
Book (stand-alone)Good practices in sample-based area estimation 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+), as well as greenhouse gas reporting for the agriculture, forestry and other land use sector, requires land use changes to be characterized to estimate the associated greenhouse gas emissions or absorptions. It is becoming increasingly common to generate these estimates using sample-based area estimation (SBAE). This technique has been widely used in recent years in the generation of activity data – particularly for estimating areas of deforestation – for REDD+ measuring, reporting and verification. However, implementing countries and agencies have repeatedly highlighted the lack of guidance on how to address certain frequently encountered issues with this approach. This paper seeks to enable donors, academia, and countries that currently use or want to use SBAE for generating activity data for REDD+ or for other national or international reporting purposes, to delve into current good practice and existing literature, as well as gain a better understanding of the most pressing research needs in the area. The paper moreover will give non-experts an overview of area estimation, as well as its applications and limitations.Published by FAO with the collaborative support of several partners in the Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI), the World Bank and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the paper is expected to contribute to improved forest data.
