Commencing tomorrow, Papua New Guinea’s Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will deliver a package of technical training and consultations.

Under the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) REDD+ Project, the initiative aims to broaden participants’ understanding of what can be done to better protect forests and use sustainable agricultural practices.

PNG is among many countries under the UNFCCC that rectified the Paris Agreement and must report on their status on the NGHGI.

The Paris Agreement and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that underpin the Agreement provide a framework for the collective action necessary to address global climate change.

This includes specific action in the agriculture and land-use sector.

CCDA national communication officer Larsen Daboyan highlighted that there’s lack of funding for effectively collecting quality data throughout Papua New Guinea.

The agriculture, forestry and land-use sector is a key source of greenhouse gas emissions for PNG.

PNG is among many countries under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that rectified the Paris Agreement and must report on their status on the NGHGI.

These include institutions from the agriculture, forest and other land use (AFOLU) sector.

This was highlighted at a recent workshop in Port Moresby aimed to revise the work done so far on a complete quality assurance process of the GHG estimations in PNG.

The workshop was facilitated by the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and attended by officers from the agriculture and land-use sector.

CCDA in partnership with FAO is working to complete the GHG estimations from the AFOLU sector to form the NGHGI.
