5. On the relative importance of REDD+ Monitoring categories International National Local Carbon Benefits and Impacts Governance Scale

6. What is the scope of a “ National Monitoring System for REDD+ ”? Must have: High Accuracy, known Precision Expensive measurements -> Sampling approaches No need for full cover data Must have: Complete coverage -> Payments/Enforcement Must be low cost per measurement -> Remote sensing No need for high accuracy -> instead: proxies Operational level (In-country implementation) Strategic level (International commitments, National policies) Governance (Safeguards) Benefits & Impacts (Services, Products) Carbon (Emission activities)

7. How to design and implement a “ National Monitoring System for REDD+ ”? National Forest Inventory Dedicated Governance Monitoring Monitoring for local implementation Operational level (In-country implementation) Strategic level (International commitments, National policies) Governance (Safeguards) Benefits & Impacts (Services, Products) Carbon (Emission activities)
