Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Developing countries are required to establish the forest reference emission level (FREL) before they can participate in the implementation of the REDD+ scheme of the UNFCCC. This project was designed to estimate forest carbon stock changes, FREL and emission reductions that are useful for developing monitoring, reporting and verification system. Forest cover data in all communes in Cambodia in 2002 and 2006 were based to establish the past trend of forest cover change. Seven categories of forest were classified while primary and secondary data of forest inventory along with allometric equations were used to derive carbon stocks for all seven categories. Accordingly, FRELs were estimated at subnational and national levels in Cambodia. Over a 30-year cycle, national FREL was estimated to be 42.6 million tCO2 per year. Introducing effective policy interventions to reduce drivers could reduce about 28.3 million tCO2 per year over the same period.
