Synopsis (short abstract) Having submitted its Fourth National Communication and its second Biennial Update Report (BUR), Togo is committed to delivering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and intends to meet the 2024 deadline to prepare its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR). However, lack of solid institutional arrangements, data and knowledge of ETF core requirements currently affect the country’s ability to prepare timely and quality national greenhouse gas inventories ( GHGIs). In order to tackle some of these bottlenecks and support countries to meet UNFCCC requirements under the ETF, FAO recently strengthened national capacities through a dedicated training programme on quality assurance/quality control of the GHGIs.

    Burkina Faso is committed to delivering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), but it is hindered by organizational and technical constraints. Thanks to a successful strategy of coordination between state actors and international agencies, FAO has recently boosted the country’s technical capacities on the national GHG inventory to respond effectively to the requirements of the ETF, a process that can inspire other countries to walk a similar path in preparation for the first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR).

    Building National Capacity to Measure, Report and Verify Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Thailand’s Forest and Land Use Sector - UTF/THA/034/THA 2021

    The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has adopted a forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation mechanism known as “REDD+”, which will provide positive incentives to developing countries to voluntarily reduce their rates of deforestation and forest degradation and increase their forest carbon stocks, as part of a post 2020 global climate change agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 (the “Paris Agreement”). The objective of the project was to support Thailand, in particular the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in establishing a Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL) for REDD+, as well as a Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting (MMR) component of the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).
