Considerations on REL/RL for REDD+
Danilo Mollicone, FAOUNFCCC Expert Meeting, Bonn 2011
1990 2000 2005
Historical data: the most common situation for non‐Annex I Parties
Is it feasible to build a REL following an accuracy oriented approach?

HISTORICAL DATA: efforts to fill the gaps
Firstly, �the best starting point for creating REL/RLs is the use of historical data. Adjustments could then be made for national circumstances if justified. Deforestation is highly complex ‐ drivers vary significantly by region and are subject to a range of unpredictable variables. Degradation is even more complex. Therefore it is extremely difficult to accurately predict long‐term future deforestation and degradation rates.� *
Secondly, to establish REL/RLs assumptions are necessary, taking into consideration the need for conservative approaches.
