We are living in the world where the average temperature is getting higher due to human activities. Clearing of forest or deforestation itself is causing about 12 to 18 percent of the global carbon emission released into the atmosphere.
00:22
It's important to stop this deforestation in order to stop global warming. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change takes a lead role in controlling this deforestation with the help of other conservation organizations. This program is called Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Degradation that is REDD plus or REDD plus.
00:41
This program will be implemented in a three phase approach whereas the first phase is readiness phase where we try to bring a number of accounting frameworks and different strategies and then the second one is the policy phase where the national and sub national governments bring new laws to control deforestation and the final phase is called results based
01:03
on pavement phase where we try to bring money into the deforestation drivers and try to stop those deforestation drivers. Since the pavements are based on performance it's important to develop a process and highly sophisticated monitoring, reporting and verification systems.
01:20
This paper is trying to address the MRV capacity and readiness in six tropical countries. We have selected Brazil, Peru, Tanzania, Cameroon, Indonesia and Vietnam and we have selected 20 project sites which are advancing in the REDD plus process in these countries. We collected the data through questionnaire survey, field visit to the REDD plus sites
01:43
and also through organizing regional workshops and we segregated the readiness into three categories that is remote sensing and GIS capacity and readiness, ground based carbon inventory capacity and readiness and baseline intervention and monitoring readiness.
02:02
We summed up all these three categories to get the overall MRV readiness and capacity in these countries. When it comes to the results we found that remote sensing and GIS capacity is very high or high at 11 project sites whereas ground based carbon inventory capacity is
02:21
high or very high in 8 projects. However, none of the projects showed very high readiness in baseline intervention and monitoring readiness. Overall 55% of our sample that is 11 projects showed very high readiness whereas the rest of the projects showed low to medium readiness. Region wise projects in Brazil and Peru showed high MRV readiness whereas projects
02:43
in other countries like in Indonesia, Vietnam, Tanzania and Cameroon showed lower readiness. And we further analyzed what are the reasons for this slowness in the readiness. We found that not only the technical expertise or human expertise is not the limitations for these projects but it's more towards the slowness with respect to the International
03:04
Climate Treaty and unclear path of development in the forest carbon market. We formulated specific recommendations with respect to each MRV category and called for increased investment to move from readiness phase to results based pavement phase.
