MRV key elements for AFOLU & REDD+ • Sustainable institutional arrangements for measuring, reporting and verifying. • Reliability, sustainability and comprehensiveness of data collection (official national sources). • Assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) and uncertainties of emissions and removals applying the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and its supplements. • Quality assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) and verification. • Consistency of reporting to the UNFCCC: data sources, methodologies, forest definition, national GHG inventory.

FAO resources/data collection: agriculture World Programme for the Census of Agriculture 2020 (en, fr, es) supporting countries to carry out their national agricultural census at least once every decade. New publication provides guidance on agricultural censuses (2016-2025), including a section Environment/Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, also for data collection to apply Tier 2 approach.

FAO resources/data collection: forest & land use Voluntary guidelines on national forest monitoring (6 languages) The aim of these Voluntary Guidelines is to assist with the creation and operation of National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMS). The guidelines include good practice principles, guidelines and a general framework. It also incorporates a set of decision-support tools for planning and implementing a multi-purpose NFMS grounded in nationally appropriate and scientifically sound practice, taking into consideration domestic information needs and reporting requirements. http://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767a.pdfhttp://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767c.pdf http://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767e.pdf http://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767f.pdf http://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767r.pdf http://www.fao.org/3/a-I6767s.pdf Press release: http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/1025728/icode/ West African South-South Network on MRV and Transparency

FAO resources/GHG estimates & reporting: REDD+ • Key findings: • Unprecedented transparency of countries’ forest-sector data and information; • Technical assessment under the UNFCCC is key to improvement of countries’ forest sector data; • Major improvements of forest area (change) statistics, including uncertainty estimates (in most cases for the first time). • Challenges remain on data sharing and in-country sharing of forest statistics - results in inconsistent domestic and international reports (FREL, BUR, FRA, National Statistical Offices) http://www.fao.org/3/a-i7163e.pdf West African South-South Network on MRV and Transparency
Conclusions • Technological and institutional barriers of MRV for REDD+ are being overcome; • Improved country data is contributing to informed forest sector policies, and contributes to SDG and NDC. • Monitoring and reporting GHG emissions and removals from AFOLU is fundamental to take appropriate actions and adopt policies and measures. • AFOLU is a sector that faces several challenges on data collection and GHG estimations. • FAO is working with and for countries to address key elements of MRV and moving towards the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF).
