  1. FRA UNFCCC Building capacity for assessing forests and carbon “ killing two birds with one stone…. ” Dieter Schoene, FAO, Rome

  2. conclusions FRA • FAO’s support to NFRA UNFCCC • consistency in reporting ? • state of forest inventories • the common basis: NFRA • mandates, activities perspective • mayhem in definitions

  3. National Communications (Art.4, 12, UNFCCC) Annual GHG inventories (Art.7, KP, CP/2001 / L2) Provide continuous info on the state of worldwide forests Worldwide access to reliable forest info building national capacity UNFCCC FRA mandates…

  4. National Forest Resource Assessments FRA UNFCCC Global Forest Resource Assessment National Communication LULUCF the common basis

  5. dry-weight ? forest ? increment ? diameter limits ? volume ? growing stock ? harvest? foliage ? biomass ecosystem ? wood density? above-ground ? woody biomass ? timber ? mayhem in carbon-terms increment expansion factor carbon

  11. forest assessment in NAI

  12. UNFCCC FRA NAI: forest area

  13. FRA UNFCCC NAI : forest area

  14. UNFCCC FRA NAI: emissions from forest conversion

  15. FRA UNFCCC FAO’s Support to NFA • pilot assessment • standard design, flexibel • objective info, state & change • global, national, local focus • information management system • national capacity building, control • low cost (~ $ 0.5 Mio) • donor funding

  16. FRA UNFCCC value of NFRA information Vi NFRA: maximizing cost/benefit i

  17. UNFCCC F1 F2 OWL4 F3 F7 F5 1km OL6 OL8 1km NFRA - standard design • area • volume • increment, harvest • biomass • trees outside forest • management • biodiversity • use, products, services • rights

  18. FRA UNFCCC the way forward …. • reliable data for NFP and reporting! • reporting burden reduced! • implement NFRA • search for funding • register for NFRA support • national commitment, NFP • recognize dilemma !

  19. FRA UNFCCC Conclusions • huge information gap on forests, key source • national policy, international reporting need reliable information • strong synergies UNFCCC / FRA • opportunity for concerted action • NFRA cheap, efficient, external funding • many birds with one stone !

  20. Thank you !
