Towards a comprehensive Monitoring Framework for REDD+ Peter Holmgren FAO 5 December 2010
Experiences and existing Tools Other monitoring needs Framework of the Framework REDD+ MONITORING FRAMEWORK Operational Monitoring Tools Specification of REDD+ Monitoring requirements What? How? Who?
REDD+ Specification Principles Safeguards Emission activities Consistent Transparent & Effective Governance Rights of Communities Stakeholder Participation Conservation Reversals Displacement Deforestation Forest Degradation Conservation Sustainable management Enhancement Country-driven National circumstances Consistent with development goals Consistent with adaptation needs Equitable etc. financing Results-based
Monitoring requirements • Information categories: • Carbon • the results of emission activities • Environment • the wider range of ecosystem services and products from forests (multiple benefits), including environmental safeguards • Governance & Social Safeguards

REDD+ MONITORING FRAMEWORK WHAT? Operational level Strategic level (examples) Carbon (emission activities) Environment (services, products, multiple benefits, safeguards) Social safeguards Governance
REDD+ MONITORING FRAMEWORK Operational level Strategic level Carbon (emission activities) HOW and WHO? (key considerations) Environment (services, products, multiple benefits, safeguards) Social safeguards Governance
REDD+ MONITORING FRAMEWORK KEY OPERATIONAL TOOLS (different info needs) Operational level Strategic level National Forest Inventory ”NFI+” and other tools Activity monitoring systems (eg remote sensing) Carbon (emission activities) Environment (services, products, multiple benefits, safeguards) ”Governance monitoring systems” Social safeguards Governance
On-going work in UN-REDD Work areas with monitoring components • MRV of Carbon • Monitoring of Governance Safeguards • Country-led Governance Assessments • Multiple benefits • Social and Environmental standards • Investments, sector transformation
Concluding remarks • REDD+ monitoring framework • Make it useful • For countries developing operational monitoring tools • See the bigger monitoring picture • Beyond REDD+
