A Seven-Country Assessment of National Capacities to Track Forest Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Removal

The document outlines technical requirements for improving forest carbon monitoring in Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Thailand, emphasizing the need for more frequent data updates, consistent methods, and better spatial resolution to evaluate the effectiveness of national forest policies.

• The assessment identifies several critical technical capacity needs for the seven studied countries to improve forest carbon monitoring, including the need for more frequent data updates to understand trends and the implementation of consistent monitoring methods for better data comparison over time.
• Technical improvements are required in spatial resolution for detecting forest change drivers, the regular updating of national forest inventories for accurate carbon estimates, and the creation of harmonized sub-national data collection protocols.
• There is a need to enhance data management and inter-agency sharing to integrate forest change information with tenure, permitting, and other land use data.
