CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Measuring carbon emissions

Exporter la citation

Measuring Carbon Emissions looks for ways to enable better carbon accounting so that emission reductions can be reliably measured and verified. The basic idea of REDD+ is to give rewards for successfully reducing the amount of carbon emitted through deforestation and forest degradation. To determine whether a REDD+ activity has been successful in reducing carbon emissions — and hence to allocate rewards — it is obviously essential to measure the size of the emission reductions. To calculate the size of emission reductions attributable to a REDD+ intervention, we need to know two things: (1) the amount of carbon emitted after the intervention; and (2) the amount of carbon that would have been emitted if there had been no intervention (known as the "reference level" or "baseline"). The volume of emission reductions is calculated as the actual emissions after REDD+ minus the reference emissions. A critical element of REDD+ in each country, therefore, is a credible and accurate "MRV system": a system for measuring the results of REDD+ activities, reporting those results to the international community, and then verifying the reports. However, developing MRV systems involves a lot of technical challenges. Our research focuses on generating the information, methods and tools needed to overcome these challenges and to build capacity.
