Resumen
Descripción
Bhutan formally initiated a national Reducing Emissions fromDeforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries(REDD+) programme under the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility(FCPF) in 2010. The country’s commitment to conserving forestsfor posterity, backed by forward-looking policies and approaches,is consistent with the objectives of the REDD+ mechanism, and placesBhutan as a strong candidate to be recognized for its past and presentactions, and financially supported to continue the conservation of itsforest resources. Therefore, it was relevant for Bhutan to work on aninternational reporting product, such as the Forest Reference EmissionLevel (FREL)/Forest Reference Level (FRL), which could take stock ofemissions and removals from the forest sector, and set a benchmarkto measure future performance of forest management. The conceptof a national FREL/FRL was new to Bhutan, therefore the project wouldprovide the required technical assistance for its development.
