Actors, Roles and Partners

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMU), in the context of its International Climate Initiative (ICI) and assisted by the German Agency for international Cooperation (GIZ), has established a capacity building programme on National GHG Inventory for the AFOLU sector, with the collaboration of the Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN) and the Thünen Institute of Forest Ecosystems in Germany (TI).

The project will have a “Coordination Committee” where the project actors will interact with the actors of the other parallel initiatives and with regional representative of countries. The Committee will define and oversee project activities, coordinate technical units; organize annual global meetings and common training sessions.

The CfRN will hold the Secretariat of the Coordination Committee and will carry out training activities in a cluster of countries.
TI will carry out training activities in another cluster of countries and will be supported in their in-country actions (training, visit, etc.) by GIZ.
Implementing Partners: FAO (as UNREDD), REDD+ countries. Other partners can join this initiative on the basis of mutual agreement.
Coordinating Partners: UNFCCC Secretariat, The United States of America, and other actors who express an interest.

All partners will begin discussions with the UNFCCC Secretariat on how best to coordinate their GHG inventory capacity building activities. Coordination will include sharing information on capacity building needs, in order to identify technical gaps that require further support. This may also include joint development and sharing of software tools, manuals, templates, and training materials. There may also be coordination around financial support to the Secretariat and around support for regional GHG inventory experts and other areas of cooperation as identified through future discussions.
