The state of REDD negotiations: Consensus points, options for moving forward and research needs to support the process.

A BACKGROUND DOCUMENT FOR THE UN-REDD SPONSORED SUPPORT TO REGIONAL GROUPS

The United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) commissioned this report from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) to summarize the current state of negotiations towards a decision in Copenhagen, specifically outlining areas of consensus, options for resolving areas where consensus has not yet been reached, and priorities for research to support successful implementation of an international REDD Programme following a decision at the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) in Copenhagen.

PREPARED BY THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY RESEARCH (CIFOR), October 2009.

Technical Paper: Cost of implementing methodologies and monitoring systems relating to estimates of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
Thursday, 11 June 2009 19:10   
Cost of implementing methodologies and monitoring systems relating to estimates of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, the assessment of carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions from changes in forest cover, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks.

This paper provides an overview of the possible steps and requirements needed to develop and implement a monitoring system for estimating emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, assessing carbon stocks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from changes in forest cover, and assessing the enhancement of forest carbon stocks. It provides information on the indicative costs associated with the possible steps and requirements of a national monitoring system. The difference in terms of cost implications and capacities between establishing a national monitoring system for GHG emissions and removals from deforestation and forest degradation, and maintaining and/or upgrading an existing system for monitoring are presented and discussed. This paper aims to facilitate the better understanding of the associated costs of the implementation of methodologies and monitoring systems related to estimates of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, the assessment of carbon stocks and GHG emissions from changes in forest cover, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks. It also illustrates elements that developing countries may need to take into account when developing a national monitoring system.
