• Providing Quick start readiness support to 9 countries
• Major opportunities under phase 2
• Governed by a Policy Board
• In response to requests, welcomed 5 new countries in October
• Global activities designed to support national efforts include MRV, multiple benefits, stakeholder engagement
- CD REDD 3rd workshop on “National Forest Inventory: The Experiences ofNon-Annex I Countries”. May 2009, India
- CD REDD 4th workshop on “Readiness for REDD”. August 2009, Germany
- Workshop on “Preparing Capacity Building Initiatives for ComprehensiveGreenhouse Gas Inventories”. November 2009, Spain
In collaboration with:
UN-REDD capacity building at Global Level onGHGs Inventory
DRC
Paraguay
Panama
Papua New Guinea
Vietnam
Zambia
Under UN-REDD:•FAO plans to support GHGinventories in 6 countries.•Inventories will beconducted in accordancewith reporting requirementsfor Annex I Parties under theConvention for the LULUCF sector.
UN-REDD GHGs Inventory activities at Country Level
National GHGs Inventory
- to assess carbon stock changes
National Forest Inventory
- to assess emission factors
RS monitoring system
- to assess activity data
UN REDD / FAO C-MRV approach in pilot countries
SuccessFactors
MRV/Monitoring
C-MRV
Scope of MRV/Monitoring for REDD
C stock/emissions-> GHG inventories -> accounting
Safeguards – Social, Environmental, Governance
Multiple benefits
Consistency with other goals –Social, Environmental
Drivers
Actions to avoid Leakage
Robustness
Transparency
Stakeholder engagement
Address non-permanence
Integration withother monitoringneeds
Feedback loops
Don’t Panic!

UN REDD / FAO C-MRV approach in pilot countries
In UN-REDD significant technical expertise on GHGs inventories are existing also in UNDP and UNEP
UNDP’s and UNEP’s national communication support progamme for non Annex I Parties’ has already
targeted many countries around the world
Future activties
• There is existing technical expertise in UN-REDD
• But we need to partner and coordinate with other players
• With additional financial support the UN-REDD Programme could extend its activities on GHG Inventories to between 15-20 (or more..) countries
