Why have a SIS in place?
In 2010, the member countries to the UNFCCC agreed to a package of measures structuring the elements of the REDD+ mechanism. Within the so called “Cancun Agreements” it was established that all countries interested in accessing REDD+ results-based payments under the UNFCCC must undergo the Readiness Phase (Phase 1 above) in which at least the following four REDD+ elements need to be developed: A National REDD+ Strategy; A Forest Reference Level/Forest Reference Emission Level (FRL/FREL); A National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS); and A Safeguards Information System (SIS).
