Vanuatu REDD+ - MRV and Reference Level Methodology

In support of the Vanuatu national implementation strategy for REDD+, SPC/GIZ focuses on the development of a system for measuring, reporting and verifying (MRV) carbon emissions and a Reference Emission Level (REL).

As part of the REDD readiness activities, the available data was reviewed and a framework for the methodologies on REL development and MRV was discussed in a stakeholder workshop and presented to the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change (NACCC). This report describes in detail the proposed methodologies for REL/RL and MRV for Vanuatu and how national circumstances will be taken into account.
