Build and Delivery Elements

Page 2: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Delivery: Requirements

Build and Deliver an End-to-end Prototype

Provides an Integrated Carbon Information System

Creates technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to assess carbon benefits of GEF and other program (future) carbon impact and benefits

Enables technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to promote Best Practices and positive socio-economic outcomes

Supports technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to enable policy and institutional context analysis

Page 3: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Delivery: Requirements

System will have certain functional attributes:

Measure actual carbon stocks, calculate sequestered carbon at any given moment during project implementation.

Forecast feasible carbon targets for GEF projects.

Recommend policy/institutional changes to maximize carbon benefits or minimize trade-offs.

Support capacity development components of GEF and non-GEF projects for subsequent country and community use.

Page 4: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Delivery: Outputs

Provides project design options to optimize carbon stock increases with livelihood benefits

Provides capabilities to asses carbon characteristics and carbon benefits of GEF projects

Provides access to agroforestry information for creating integrated sustainable agriculture systems

Optimizes multiple benefits within a smallholder carbon project

Page 5: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Delivery: Design

Constructed on a previous approach called the Carbon PMMP: Protocols (P) that provide both tools and guidance

for measurement and monitoring of carbon in agricultural, agro-forestry, and forest landscapes

Measurement (M) that provide both above and below ground measurements of carbon on the landscape, considers all IPCC pools and is robust and statistically accurate suitable for project and program evaluation of carbon benefits

Monitoring (M) that allows for continuous measurements over time for on going evaluation of progress in program carbon benefits

Participatory (P) involvement of user communities with the GEF, UNEP and rural communities and their land managers.

Page 6: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Delivery: Components

Integration of a suite of measurement and monitoring methods and technologies:

1. Ground based sample frame collection of in-situ measurements of above ground, belowground and soil carbon and nitrogen

2. Laboratory analysis of in situ samples3. Ground-calibrated remote sensing observations of

land use and cover, vegetation attributes and structure

4. Statistical analytical and spatial analysis of stratified samples and continuous fields

5. Numerical models 6. Local and program wide social/economic impact tools

and best practice tools

Page 7: Carbon Benefits4

Build and Deliver

Aim: to apply emerging technologies to measure and monitor land use changes to provide accurate environmental and carbon risk information.

Remote Sensing

Page 17: Carbon Benefits4

Key Elements of Measurement

Ground measurements provide calibration and detailed sample frame analysis

Remote sensing takes the ground samples to extrapolate spatially to the landscape

Remote sensing characterizes spatial heterogeneity and land use

Spectral analysis provides rapid soil carbon measurement

GIS provides the data base framework for organizing spatial data

Carbon and nitrogen models provide ex ante calculations and detailed accounting

Web-enabled geospatial information systems to provide local and global access

Page 18: Carbon Benefits4

The Technology Suite

Integrates all of these essential components through key components

•Ground measurement and calibration•Site characterization and planning•Carbon and Nitrogen accounting &

modeling•Access to web based spatial information
