Synopsis (short abstract) The case study highlights how a roadmap of actions and their targeted implementation can assist Madagascar in coping with the main challenges of addressing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting requirements. It describes the starting point for the roadmap of actions and explains how the approach chosen, the tools used, and sustained effort made it possible to overcome the country’s challenges. It also highlights the importance of developing sustainable in-house capacity for continuous future improvement.

    Boosting the quality of the national greenhouse gas inventory in Togo 2023

    Having submitted its Fourth National Communication and its second Biennial Update Report (BUR), Togo is committed to delivering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and intends to meet the 2024 deadline to prepare its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR). However, lack of solid institutional arrangements, data and knowledge of ETF core requirements currently affect the country’s ability to prepare timely and quality national greenhouse gas inventories ( GHGIs). In order to tackle some of these bottlenecks and support countries to meet UNFCCC requirements under the ETF, FAO recently strengthened national capacities through a dedicated training programme on quality assurance/quality control of the GHGIs.

    Building National Capacity to Measure, Report and Verify Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Thailand’s Forest and Land Use Sector - UTF/THA/034/THA 2021

    The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has adopted a forestry greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation mechanism known as “REDD+”, which will provide positive incentives to developing countries to voluntarily reduce their rates of deforestation and forest degradation and increase their forest carbon stocks, as part of a post 2020 global climate change agreement reached at COP 21 in Paris in 2015 (the “Paris Agreement”). The objective of the project was to support Thailand, in particular the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, in establishing a Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL) for REDD+, as well as a Measurement, Monitoring and Reporting (MMR) component of the National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS).

    The LoGIc tool for developing land representation for national greenhouse gas inventories
    Technical guide version 1.4.en.1
    2024
    Also available in:

    Parties to the Paris Agreement are required to submit their national inventory report of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, in accordance with the modalities, procedures and guidelines for the transparency framework for action and support. The guidelines require all countries to report their GHG emissions/removals estimates separately for the land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, using the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. To develop the LULUCF GHG inventory, the land representation information is of utmost importance. This is because it provides the area information for estimating associated carbon stock changes and non-CO2 emissions. While countries can obtain data on land-use classification by using remote sensing information, there is still the need to appropriately process this information to develop a consistent land representation. The LoGIc tool was designed to help governments, national experts and GHG inventory practitioners in developing the land representation, in accordance with the newly adopted common reporting tables for submitting the inventory to the UNFCCC.
