Synopsis (short abstract) Within the framework of the UNFCCC, countries report data on GHG inventories at a national level. However, only a few countries currently have the capacities needed for data collection and analysis to ensure consistent and complete land representation of national GHG inventories. To assist countries in this task, FAO introduced Collect Earth, a software designed to aid countries in gathering data on land use activities. In collaboration with the IPCC, UNFCCC and WMO, FAO developed this project with the aim to further enhance the accuracy of activity data reporting for the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector. FAO and the IPCC agreed to develop a new software module that would enable countries to use the IPCC Inventory Software and the UNFCCC Enhanced Transparency Framework reporting tool in an interoperability mode, which will help improve the transparency and accuracy of national GHG data.

    Supporting Local Populations through a Project to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Forests in Congo - UNJP/PRC/019/UNJ 2020

    Since 2008, Congo has been committed to the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries (REDD+) process, with a view to tackling climate change, protecting its forest ecosystems, combatting poverty and laying the foundations for a green economy and sustainable development in the country. Congo’s proactive attempts to secure financing for its national REDD+ Investment Plan led it to request the technical assistance of FAO in developing a project proposal for the Green Climate Fund, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from forests in five departments of the country. Through a range of outputs and activities, including analysis of local agriculture and forestry models, consultative processes involving local women’s and indigenous groups and economic and financial analysis, the full project proposal package was enhanced, finalized and ultimately submitted to the Green Climate Fund in January 2020.

    Strengthening Capacities of Farmers and Rural Population on Greenhouse – Phase II of TCP/TAJ/3603 (TCP/TAJ/3603 and TCP/TAJ/3801) 2022

    This project was designed to harness the potential of agriculture in Tajikistan to create jobs, generate income and reduce undernourishment in rural areas through the establishment of greenhouses for vegetable cultivation in seven districts Greenhouses provide a protected environment for the growth of vegetables and the production of seedlings, which can then be sold or consumed by project beneficiaries, boosting their incomes and strengthening food and nutrition security in the targeted areas The project design included capacity development interventions, the construction of locally adapted small scale greenhouses, and the creation of a national strategy for the sustainable production of greenhouse vegetables The project was implemented in two phases after delays during the first phase caused the need for a second.

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

    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).
