Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEnhancing Ghana’s forest monitoring system for climate action through AIM4Forests
Leveraging the national forest monitoring system assessment tool to address forest priorities and climate strategies
2025Ghana’s commitment to sustainable forest management and climate action has been further strengthened through the assessment of needs and gaps. The application of the national forest monitoring system (NFMS) assessment tool has been instrumental in this process. Developed by the Forest Monitoring and Data Platforms team of the Food and Agriculture Organizationof the United Nations (FAO), this comprehensive tool enables the assessment of NFMS capacities and needs, helping Ghana prioritize actions that align with both national objectives and international climate commitments. Developed under the project “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector” (CBIT-Forest), funded by the Capacity-Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) Trust Fund of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the “Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests” (AIM4Forests) programme, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. -

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.
