Module 3: Forest monitoring, measurement, reporting and verification
How to incorporate multiple drivers of deforestation and forest degradation into MMRV, evaluation and RELs
Better AFOLU information: ●better data and assessment on mitigation policy
options ●the role of forests in setting country targets and
planning mitigation activities in the broader land use sector
MMRV capacity:●Stakeholder needs & gaps●Independent/transparent monitoring
The role of Earth Observation

• An integrated pan tropical ‐biomass map using multiple reference datasets
• Novel data fusion approach• Reduced bias at regional scale• Possible to apply with own
reference data

Post-Paris and land use sector• Forests strong in Paris agreement (Art. 5)• Efforts should not harm food production (Art.2)• Land use sector is unique in its large negative
emissions potential (forest sinks)• Bottom-up process • Monitoring issues:
• Regular stock-taking by countries• Transparency • Implementation of climate smart land use
activities
There is a need for monitoring approaches (i.e. unbiased data, tools and methods) that stakeholders involved in land-use sector mitigation activities can rely on for their own goals, but which would also be perceived as transparent and legitimate by others and support accountability of all stakeholders in the framework of the Paris Agreement.
Independent transparent monitoring not a specific tool, a single system or a one-
serves-all approach diversity of approaches and initiatives:
● increase transparency ● broaden stakeholder participation ● Increase confidence
free and open methods, data, and tools - complementary to mandated reporting by national governments.

Summary & looking forward Different roles of MMRV & NFMS in REDD+ Transparency is key for Paris agreement Ongoing/upcoming research:
●Emission factors (remote sensing & field work)
●Drivers of deforestation●RELs●Forest sinks and restoration
