    This framework document describes the principles, practices and procedures currently applied by FAO and WHO for the provision of scientific advice through the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, the Joint FAO/WHO Meetings on Pesticide Residues, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Microbiological Risk Assessment, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Pesticide Specifications, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Nutrition and ad hoc expert consultations and meetings organized in response to specific ad hoc requests or emergency situations. It has been prepared to enhance the transparency of the processes and procedures used by FAO and WHO to deliver scientific advice in food safety and nutrition. The framework continues to be reviewed periodically and amended as appropriate, to take account of new developments and procedures as part of the process to continually improve the provision of scientific advice.

    From reference levels to results reporting: REDD+ under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
    2019 update
    2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This report provides an update on forest reference (emission) levels (FREL/FRLs) and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus (REDD+) results submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and relevant developments under the Green Climate Fund concerning REDD+ results-based payments. It illustrates the choices countries have made when constructing their FREL/FRLs and areas for improvement identified during technical assessments. As of early July 2019, the following REDD+ measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) milestones had been achieved: 39 countries had submitted 45 FREL/FRLs to the UNFCCC for technical assessment; 8 countries had reported REDD+ results to the UNFCCC through ten submissions (in the REDD+ technical annex of their biennial update reports), totalling more than 8 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) in emission reductions. Two funding proposals (Brazil and Ecuador) for REDD+ results-based payments had been approved by the Green Climate Fund. The aim of this paper is to inform countries about recent developments in the MRV of REDD+ activities under the UNFCCC. Certain developments are detailed out in the report, such as progress in uncertainty reporting and methods used to assess deforestation. Such information can help countries to learn from each other’s experiences and thus facilitate South–South knowledge exchange on REDD+.
