  • Sustainable Forestry Community Forestry
    Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Guyana ER-PIN Guyana’s Emission Reduction Programme for Sustainable Forest Management Thirteenth Meeting of the Carbon Fund (CF13) Brussels October 13-16, 2015 Guyana ER-PIN ER Program Idea Background/Context • Guyana is a REDD+ country with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation. Even with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation there have been drivers of forest change that are impacting on forest cover, and specific drivers of which have shown increases over the past 4 years. • Guyana’s Emission Reduction Program Idea Note (ERPIN) proposes to maintain a low rate of forest change and at the same time, lower emissions where possible where such reductions can be attained through improved practices and enhanced efficiencies. • The proposed nation-wide ER-Program intends to avoid 27.98 MtCO2e/year from 2018 to 2025 through implementing activities and interventions preliminarily selected based on the impacts of the drivers defined by Guyana’s Measurement Reporting Verification System (MRVS). ER Programme lifetime is for 10 years, with ERs offered to Carbon Fund up to 2025. • From the results of the MRVS, it is clear that mining, and associated roads, is the largest emission source during the period 2001 to 2012, followed by timber harvesting activities. National policies and interventions within the ER Programme have been tailored to address these. • The general objective of the program is to promote sustainable natural resources and environmental management by facilitating coordinated remedial land reclamation interventions, aimed towards managing and combatting land and forest degradation from the activities within Guyana`s extractive sectors.
