1 ToR MRV Task Force 1. BACKGROUND Greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation have come to the forefront of the international discussions on climate change given their overall impacts. Since 2005, REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, Enhancement of Forest Carbon Stocks, Sustainable Forest Management and Conservation) has been discussed in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) assists selected countries in their REDD+ efforts. It has the dual objectives of building capacity for REDD+ (the Readiness Fund ), and testing a program of performance based incentive payments in some pilot countries (the Carbon Fund ). Assistance under the Readiness Fund includes support for: (i) developing a national reference scenario for REDD+; (ii) adopting a national socially and environmentally sound REDD+ strategy that would reduce emissions and at the same time conserve biodiversity, enhance the livelihoods of forest dependent peoples and other forest dwellers; (iii) setting up implementation management framework for the effective and efficient implementation of REDD+; and (iii) designing and implementing accurate measurements, monitoring and verification systems to enable countries to report on emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. In line with this, Ethiopia is committed to transforming the country s economy while achieving a Climate Resilient and Green Economy (CRGE) by In the forestry sector, the government is engaged in the REDD+ Readiness process, with support, of donors. Ethiopia was selected as a REDD+ country participant in the FCPF in The Government started preparation of a Readiness Preparation Proposal (R PP) in April 2010, involving various analyses of the current issues around forest cover loss in the country through a highly participatory process. Among the agreements achieved in Cancun (16 th Conference of the Parties, 2010), it is requested that developing countries aiming to undertake the REDD+
2 activities, to develop, in accordance with national circumstances and respective capabilities, a robust and transparent national forest monitoring system for the monitoring and reporting REDD+ activities. The monitoring function of our National Forest Monitoring System will allow us to assess a broad range of forest information, including in the context of REDD+, and the MRV function for REDD+ will allow us the estimation and international reporting of forest emissions and removals. Responding to this Ethiopia is now designing and implementing robust and accurate system for monitoring and measuring carbon emissions and removals to enable the country to report and verify actions on deforestation and forest degradation and other activities aiming to conserve, sustainably manage and increase forest carbon stocks. The Terms of Reference for Developing Capacities for a national Measuring, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification System to support REDD+ participation of Ethiopia, including the MRV Roadmap, were prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency, with support from the Norwegian embassy and Wageningen University in June Several national and international institutions were identified in this study to be part of the MRV Task Force, a body of counseling, advice and technical participation jointly with the Ministry of Environment and Forest to implement the MRV project in a real participated process. For the implementation of the MRV Roadmap, the Ministry of Environment and Forest on behalf of the government of Ethiopia and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations signed an agreement in August 2014 for the provision of technical assistance for the implementation of a national forest monitoring and MRV system for REDD+ Readiness in Ethiopia. This is a major project, but not the only, related to M&MRV System implementation at national level, but its launch makes it urgent to formalize the MRV Task Force for developing the first assigned tasks. These ToR, required to formalize the MRV Task Force, come to define the counseling, advice and technical tasks that the different member institutions will develop in the MRV system implementation.
3 2. MRV TASK FORCE MISSION 1) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development of Monitoring systems (NFI, GHG, etc.) that allow for credible measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) at national, regional and project level. Build institutional framework for MRV (recruitment, training staff, extension activities and technical maintenance of MRV and Forest inventory units). 2) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development and capacity on climate sciences, climate models (radiative and convective models, General Circulation Models), climate evolution and trends, natural and anthropogenic causes of climate change, emission inventories, emissions scenarios). Information on useful available data and advice on the acquisition and use of new climatic/meteo data, climate modeling and mapping. 3) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development of vegetation classification systems, species (and genetic clusters) distribution modeling and biodiversity hotspots characterization and detection. Information on useful available data and advice on the acquisition and use of new vegetation data, vegetation and biodiversity mapping and vegetation distribution modeling. 4) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development and capacity on methods to assess the stocks of carbon pools both aboveground (allometric equations for major tree species of interest) and belowground under forest systems. 5) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development and capacity on estimating soil carbon release and sequestration. Information on useful available data and advice on the acquisition and use of new soil data, soil mapping and soil carbon modeling.
4 6) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development and capacity on the preparation of the national GHG/data registry system. Specifications for: data, formats, storage systems, statistical data analysis, reporting. Information on useful available data and advice on the acquisition and use of new data. 7) Support, monitor, and technically advice on the development and capacity on remote sensing and GIS techniques and facilities. Information on available geo data and advice on the acquisition and use of new material (remote sensing data, aerial photography, DEMs, topographic and other thematic maps and other related geo information).
5 3. MRV TASK FORCE MEMBERS: PRESENTATION AND PROPOSED ROLES Central Statistical Agency (CSA): The Central Statistical Agency (CSA) is an agency of the government of Ethiopia designated to provide all surveys and censuses for that country used to monitor economic and social growth, as well as to act as an official training center in that field.
