Описание: Within the context of REDD+ and as requested in the paragraph 71 of the Decision 1/CP.16 (Cancun Agreements) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the set-up of a National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) represents the need for a country to follow all the actions related to the implementation of its national REDD+ policies and measures and a platform to access to their results. The Government of the Republic of Paraguay recognizes the relevant provisions of the UNFCCC and aims to implement these with regards to forest monitoring on national scale in the country. UN-REDD, through the National Joint Programme and the targetted support from FAO, is helping the country in their efforts to develop a robust and transparent NFMS. FAO considers the efforts of Paraguay as an important success and example for other countries interested in implementing REDD+ activities. The present event “the monitoring of forests for REDD+ in Paraguay” is aimed at sharing with other countries interested in the process of forest monitoring and REDD+ the technical work undertaken by INFONA and SEAM experts to start up and follow up the development of the NFMS and the lessons learnt. The event will be hold in Spanish with translation to and from English. (See agenda attached herewith for further information)
