The project will systematically analyze literature on methods for carbon measurement using an evidence-based process. It is hoped that the project will lend scientific credibility to the guidance given to countries participating in a future REDD mechanism.
The UN-REDD Programme is a collaborative partnership between the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Environment Programme (UNEP). [The draft protocol][Project website]
