Explanatory note
Explanatory note Based on the Technical Report on the Technical Analysis of the BUR REDD+ Technical Annex, Cambodia reported REDD+ results from implementing activities aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, as well as enhancing forest carbon stocks, between 2015 and 2018. These efforts resulted in a total reduction of 163,166,240 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO₂eq), which were compared to an assessed Forest Reference Level (FRL) of 78,953,951 tCO₂eq per year.
- 2015–2016: 35,245,948 tCO₂eq per year
- 2017–2018: 46,337,172 tCO₂eq per year
During the period of 2017–2018, Cambodia received payments from multiple entities for reduced emissions from deforestation through three REDD+ projects. Two of these projects operated under the voluntary carbon market and adhered to VERRA standards and had received payments from, while the third was part of the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM).
