Objectives

Activity Data (AD) monitoring within REDD+ is primarily based on wall-to-wall land cover and land cover change information.

Automatic satellite image classification is required to assure timely product generation in a standardized and cost-beneficial manner especially for a

country the size of Mexico.

Operative satellite forest monitoring system implemented by CONABIO within the Mexican-Norwegian Project Reinforcing REDD+ Readiness in Mexico and

enabling South-South cooperation.

Operational wall-to-wall system based on satellite remote sensing data, with a sampling approach to assess historical deforestation and degradation rates. Changes in forest area to be assessed in order to fulfil the IPCC Tier 3 reporting requirements

INFyS implemented in 2004. Consistent and comparable over time, revision in 5 year interval. Data on carbon stock for all forest carbon pools for the main forest types at IPCC Tier 2 and Tier 3 reporting requirements.

National inventory for the LULUCF sector developed following the reporting requirements of the Annex-I Parties under the UNFCCC. Following the IPCC default methods: ‘gain-loss’ or ‘stock difference’, but it could also be developed to implement a Tier 3 model.

Highlights

• The Measuring, Reporting and Verification - Activity Data (MRV-AD) Monitoring System within the Mexican REDD+ program (MAD-Mex) enables automatic wall-to-wall land cover classification.

• Using Landsat data seven national land cover maps at a scale of 1:100,000 between 1993 and 2008 have been generated yielding in overall accuracies up to 76% over 9 land cover classes. Tropical and temperate forest was classified with accuracy up to 78% and 82%, respectively.

• A first and preliminary national land cover product at a scale of 1:20,000 using RapidEye data of 2011 is expected by the end of the year.
