Descripción
In response to the challenge of climate change, Ethiopia decided to develop its green economy through the protection and re-establishment of forests, and their economic and ecosystem services. In order to mitigate climate change through the forestry sector, the country embarked on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and fostering the conservation, the sustainable management of forests and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). However, the lack of a knowledge and information base on forests hindered decision-making in the sector. The objective of the project was to support the Government in the planning, development and implementation of its national forest monitoring and measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) system for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The project also monitored the impact of REDD+ policies and measures and help to collect and report information on REDD+ safeguards.
