UN-REDD Programme
FAO provides comprehensive technical assistance in forestry and land-use, focusing on:
- Monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV): Building capacities in MRV of greenhouse gas emissions and developing robust National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMS) for REDD+, catering to broader sustainable development monitoring needs.
- REDD+ strategy implementation: Supporting the implementation of REDD+ mitigation measures outlined in national strategies or action plans, integral to the UN-REDD Programme Strategic Framework 2021–2025.
- Enabling environment for REDD+: Assisting countries in overcoming challenges in creating a conducive environment for REDD+. This includes legal preparedness, capacity development, and identifying best practices in sustainable forest management, governance, and land tenure regimes, in line with the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries, and Forests.
- Institutional capacity development: Aiding in the development of multipurpose forest inventories, crucial for REDD+ readiness and forest carbon stock assessments.
- Governance and legal support: Offering guidance in governance assessments, legal frameworks, land tenure issues, and promoting sustainable forest management.
- Land-use investment planning: Facilitating the creation of sustainable forestry-focused land-use investment plans.
- South-South collaboration: Promoting knowledge exchange and best practices through South-South networks, supported by resources and tools for effective forest and greenhouse gas monitoring.
Through these diverse initiatives, FAO aims to enhance global forest management and conservation, aligning with sustainable development and climate change mitigation objectives.
