Le système national de suivi des forêts fournit de meilleures données et renforce les capacités en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée: Renforcement de la planification de l’utilisation des terres et du suivi des interventions liées aux forêts grâce à des données
2021
En collaboration avec le Costa Rica, la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée a proposé le concept de réduction des émissions dues à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts (REDD+) à la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (CCNUCC) en 2005. Depuis lors, le pays a continué à se préparer à la REDD+ et a travaillé à l'établissement d'un système national de surveillance des forêts (SNSF). Ces actions sont vitales, car des informations précises sur...
Establishing a multi-purpose national forest monitoring system to improve land use monitoring capacities in Ghana: Strengthening the accessibility and accuracy of forest-related data for meeting national and international climate targets
2021
Depuis 2008, la République du Ghana a mis en œuvre des activités de réduction des émissions liées à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts (REDD+). Ces actions comprennent la mise en place d'un système national de suivi des forêts (SNSF) polyvalent pour améliorer les capacités de surveillance de l'utilisation des terres dans le pays. Le développement du SNSF du Ghana renforce l'accessibilité et l'exactitude des données forestières pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques...
Le Système national de suivi des forêts dans la Stratégie nationale sur le changement climatique et les ressources végétales au Chili: Application d’approches de suivi de pointe pour la conservation, la restauration et la gestion des forêts
2021
Cette étude de cas du Chili applique des approches de suivi de pointe pour la conservation, la restauration et la gestion des forêts. Elle offre un aperçu des efforts consentis par le Chili pour réduire les émissions dues à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts et pour améliorer les stocks de carbone forestier (REDD+).
Institutionalisation of forest data: Establishing legal frameworks for sustainable forest monitoring in REDD+ countries
2021
For countries eager to develop a robust and sustainable National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS), clear legal frameworks and instruments related to the collection and management of forest data are key. A recently launched UN-REDD publication, “Institutionalisation of forest data: Establishing legal frameworks for sustainable forest monitoring in REDD+ countries,” provides a basis for understanding the importance of institutionalising an NFMS and supports developing countries working towards a more sustainable institutional setting. This document considers...
Information Note: Legal assessment to set up and operationalize a national forest monitoring system
2021
Countries have made substantial advances in developing and operationalizing their National Forest Monitoring Systems (NFMS), to comply with the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) framework under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), as well as to provide better forest data to effectively support decision-making and domestic policies. Efforts in developing NFMS has been fundamental to increase transparency, and lessons learnt will be useful to implement the enhanced transparency framework (ETF) under...
Case study Bangladesh - An integrated national forest monitoring system for sustainable forest management and conservation in Bangladesh
2020
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. To support and improve decision-making on climate change mitigation and adaptation, access to robust data and information is key. The role of the forest sector and the availability of comprehensive forest-related data are supporting long-term planning, implementation and monitoring of forest-related activities that serve multiple purposes.
National forest monitoring system assessment tool: Quick guidance
2020
The national forest monitoring system (NFMS) assessment tool has been developed under the project “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector (CBIT-Forest)” implemented by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Capacity-Building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) trust fund of the Global...
Case study: Democratic Republic of the Congo
2020
The Democratic Republic of the Congo establishes a national forest monitoring system to promote sustainable forest management. Improving proactive monitoring of deforestation and forest degradation with a robust national forest monitoring system.
NFMS Assessment Tool - Information note
2020
A lack of institutional and individual capacity often undermines the long-term impact of otherwise technically sound programmes. To support efforts towards sound and impactful forest monitoring, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a national forest monitoring system (NFMS) assessment tool to help countries identify capacity gaps and weaknesses in order to address their real needs in a targeted manner.

Boosting transparency of forest data for climate action
2020
Forests play a central role in combating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon from the atmosphere in their vegetation and soils. Better forest information is needed to make policies and decisions to protect and sustainably manage forest resources.
Étude de cas Costa Rica: Progrès du Costa Rica dans le développement d’un système national de suivi de l’utilisation et l’occupation des terres et des écosystèmes
2020
La République du Costa Rica est un pays d’Amérique centrale largement couvert de forêt tropicale présentant une biodiversité importante. Le pays déploie de nombreux efforts pour conserver ses forêts et sa biodiversité, même si dans la plupart des cas les ressources forestières et agricoles ont été évaluées indépendamment.
