National Forest Monitoring System of Cambodia.

In COP19 decision, National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) was listed as one of four conditions for parties to become eligible to apply for the results based payment. The other three conditions are establishment of National Strategy, Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL) and Safeguard Information System (SIS) under REDD+ mechanism.
In order to implement more efficient policies and measures to address deforestation and forest degradation and to become eligible to receive results based payment for the implementation of REDD+ activities, the parties of COP19 are obliged to establish a national forest monitoring system. Cambodia has decided to establish the system based on existing mechanism and modality in a phased approach by 2020. Target is the GHG inventory covering five carbon pools at the level higher than Tier 2. Monitoring part of NFMS focuses on the effect of policies and measures to address drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.
