  1. Meeting of Remote Sensing Task Force for FRA 2010 30 March - 3 April 2009 Danilo Mollicone, FAO UN-REDD Programme www.unredd.net

  2. Origin of UN-REDD • In response to: • UNFCCC Decision in Bali 2/CP.13 • Requests from governments in the Coalition for Rainforest Nations • Requests from other governments – and UN Secretary General -- for joint UN action – “Delivering as One UN”

  3. UN-REDD Programme Key Principles Institution strengthening, capacity building and local action Stakeholder participation Measurement, assessment, reporting & verification Coordinated response Country-driven UN joint programmes – “Delivering as One" Contribution to UNFCCC process

  4. UN-REDD Programme: Objective Help REDD see the light of day… equitable, effective, efficient! Governance structure Quick Start: Country actions (9 countries) Partnership with other countries Global Joint Programme $52m contributed by Norway for initial phase Implementation phase 2012 and beyond

  5. Global Joint Programme • Measurement, Assessment, Reporting & Verification (MARV) • Civil Society Organizations / Indigenous Peoples engagement • Multiple Benefits • UN-coordination, knowledge management and outreach

  6. Coordination with other initiatives • GEF • World Bank FCPF* and FIP • Bilateral programmes • Other CPF members * http://go.worldbank.org/57X9QKTON0

  7. Global Joint Programme: MARV • Data support • National monitoring systems • Training • Independent review system

  8. MARV: Data support • - Collaboration with GEOSS-GEO* on free RS data distribution • Continuous submission of data to IPCC EFDB** • (Emission Factor Database) for default values * www.earthobservations.org/ ** www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/EFDB/main.php

  9. MARV: National monitoring systems • Report* on the implementation of LULUCF Guidance and AFOLU Guidelines in non-Annex I Countries to meet UNFCCC reporting requirements and principles: • Inventories should be transparent, consistent, comparable, complete and accurate • + • principle of conservativeness *To be delivered by Copenhagen 2009 and complementary to Gofc-Gold REDD Sourcebook on national monitoring systems

  10. MARV: National monitoring systems • Guidelines* on National Forest Inventory to assess carbon stock and carbon stock changes: • compliance with IPCC AFOLU 2006 Guidelines • analysis on sampling design • analysis on plot design • identifying and quantifying uncertainties • operational implementation (e.g. continuous NFI) • etc… *To be delivered by Copenhagen 2009

  11. On NFI Sampling design • Stratification increases efficiency in two main ways: • by improving the accuracy of the estimate for the entire population; • by ensuring that adequate results are obtained for certain subpopulations, e.g., for certain forest types. (IPCC GPG) • Generally (but this will highly depend on national circumstances) forest land will be further stratified on the basis of biophysical characteristics and land-use practices in order to create more homogeneous spatial units and the intensity of field plots within a stratum will be fixed in relation to a chosen probability level and allowable sampling error (e.g. Malaysia).

  12. On NFI Sampling design third forest stratification level based on forest land-use practices. Over time strata may change to follow land use processes Forest land Lowland forest Managed Or Un-managed

  13. On plot design FAO-NFMA ITTO rev new concepts Sweep sample point 100 m Different plot design will be evaluated and NFI may contain different plot design (e.g. Mexico)

  14. MARV: training • Series of technical workshops (e.g. Forest and GHGs Inventory, forest area assessment, SFM, REL & RL, etc.) in collaboration with CfRN, GTZ, GEF, WB, INPE, ICFRE, etc. • FAO in house capacity (e.g. FRA, FRA-RSS, NFMA, etc) • Collaboration with Brazilian INPE on RS (Prodes, Deter, Detex, Degrad, TerraAmazon) • Collaboration with INDIAN Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) on RS and forest inventory ? • GHGs national inventory with EPA, GTZ, EC, etc..

  15. MARV: Independent review system • Institution of joint Roster of Expert under UN-REDD and FCPF • Support to UNFCCC Roster of Expert (new experts from FAO) • Independent review of each country REDD national monitoring and reporting systems
