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. -
Book (stand-alone)The Restoration Initiative Year in Review 2019 2020
Also available in:
The 2019 TRI Year in Review is detailing progress and stories from the first year implementation of The Restoration Initiative (TRI) programme. With support from the Global Environment Facility, this pathbreaking programme led by IUCN in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) is supporting ten Asian and African countries in achieving shared restoration goals. The 2019 TRI Year in Review takes readers on a tour of the eleven projects of TRI, showcasing the diversity of project objectives and geographies that is a key feature of the programme. From work to restore coastal mangroves and degraded rice fields in Guinea-Bissau, to improving the management practices of China’s large and vital network of State Forest Farms, to enhancing the productivity and resilience of degraded agricultural and pasture lands in South Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to empowering local communities to conserve and sustainably manage the Tana River Delta in Kenya, readers can see the extent to which restoration is truly a global ambition and enterprise. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian Councils”
Project code: GCP/CMR/033/GFF - GEF ID: 4800
2023Also available in:
No results found.Project "Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian councils" (GCP/CMR/033/GFF; GEF ID: 4800) was financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the FAO along with the Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED), and the Association of Forest Communes of Cameroon (ACFCAM) as well as other national partners as executing agencies. The final evaluation found the project was highly relevant to the needs of national governments and of Cameroonian councils, the FAO, and GEF despite gender and indigenous peoples’ issues not being prioritized. Significant capacity building of local council officials, Peasant Forest Committees (PFCs) and Council Forest Cells (CFCs) were achieved on sustainable forest management issues and carbon management. However, due to significant delays, internal governance conflicts and personal issues within the FAO and between national government partners and executing agencies, the landmark paradigmatic change in forest management approach, whereby council forest management plans would integrate sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation and carbon management components have not been achieved. Project gains are likely to continue beyond the project but this is contingent on actions taken to address financial, institutional, social and environmental risks.
