Use of Advanced Remote Sensing in REDD - The Panama Case

SGS

Location: 285, 2nd floor, Collegium Maius

To get the right balance of accuracy of emissions reporting and transaction costs in monitoring and verification is a challenge in all GHG projects, but particularly in REDD. Other major issues in REDD are the need to convincingly address leakage & transparency. These issues can be addressed by remote sensing in combination with advance software solutions.  In addition, the use of web-enabled delivery systems can enhance the transactional efficiency, transparency and credibility of the solution. This event will propose a new concept to develop, monitor and support the verification of a complete IPCC Tier 3 country inventory providing unparalleled transparency to enhance credibility.
