2018-2019
Funding
European Union by GCCA+
Main objective
Establish a Forest Emission Reference Level (FREL) based on the historical average of emissions associated with gross deforestation in the period 2007–2015.
Specific objective
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions from deforestation to FREL 67,805.5 tCO₂-e per year.
- Apply FREL at a subnational scale, corresponding to the land component of SNAP (approx. 750,000 ha).
- Carbon reservoirs: above-ground biomass and below-ground biomass.
