Forest Carbon Partnership Facility REDD+ Readiness Project (Phase 2)

Being ready for REDD+ is a precondition for Papua New Guinea to move to the next phase of REDD+, that is, to implement REDD+ Policies and Measures to effectively reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and promote the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks. Successful REDD+ implementation, in terms of reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions from the forest sector, will also enable PNG to access results-based payments through the UNFCCC in the future.

Forest Carbon Partnership Facility REDD+ Readiness Project (Phase 1)

Papua New Guinea (PNG) has one of the most significant areas of largely-intact tropical forest in the world, although these forests appear to be facing acute and imminent threats. Forests are also a vital resource for the local population particularly in the remote rural areas of PNG, providing food, fibre, building materials, and support a variety of wildlife and ecosystem services.

Papua New Guinea's First Biennial Update Report to UNFCCC

This first BUR presents an overview of PNG’s national circumstances relevant to climate change, summary results of the inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks for years 2000 through to 2015, and also presents information related to identified mitigation actions; constraints and gaps; the financial support received in relation to climate change activities and related financial, technical and capacity needs, including a description of support needed and received; information on national circumstances and institutional arrangements relev

REDD+ Capacity Building Initiative

The purpose of this training is to assist in developing a country Roadmap for REDD+ MRV. It aims to assist countries understand the concepts and requirements of REDD+ MRV to access carbon base payment and for other national uses. It Ensure that REDD+ countries meet the necessary requirements of REDD+ activities through the REDDcompass with a sensible direction. It also gives individuals taking part in REDD+ activities the clear knowledge on building a sustainable REDD+ MRV that meets the Good Practise Guidance of IPCC reporting principles.

It aimed to provide participants with:

Consultation Workshop for National Forest Monitoring System Action Plan, Greenhouse Gas Inventory, Forest Reference Level for REDD+ in Papua New Guinea

The Consultation Workshop for National Forest Monitoring System Action Plan, Greenhouse Gas inventory, Forest Reference Level for REDD+ in Papua New Guinea was a joint initiative of the Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA), the UNREDD Programme and the European Union held on the 7th and 8th of June, 2016 at the Grand Papua Hotel in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

AFOLU Hands on Training Report

In preparation of the Forest Reference Level (FRL) submission and calculations of Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGi) in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) Sector, experts from the three organisations met in Kavieng, New Ireland Province in 2017. Participants were from CCDA, the Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

The FAO experts have a wide range of experience working with different countries upon requests to the FAO Head Quarters in Rome. This is a report from the training session.
