4. Background of the 2nd National FREL
u The mandate of Dec.12 COP 17: Modalities for forest reference
emission levels (FREL) and forest reference levels (FRL)
u para 10, Agrees that a step-wise approach to national FREL
and/or FRL development may be useful, enabling Parties to
improve the FREL and/or FRL by incorporating better data,
improved methodologies and, where appropriate, additional
pools
u para 12, Agree that a developing country Party should update
a FREL and/or FRL periodically as appropriate, taking into
account new knowledge, new trends and any modification of
scope and methodologies.
u The 1st FREL period is valid until 31 December 2020, so that the
2nd FREL must be immediately drawn up while updating several
sections.

6. Update Plan for 2nd FREL
1. Reference Period (10-15 years)
2. Adding Carbon pool: BGB, Dead Wood, soil mangrove from CIFOR
research and BLI / FORDIA / FCPF, Non-CO2 from Fire
3. Activity Data Improvement
a. Deforestation emissions are net deforestation
b. Burn area data improvement (burn scar)
4. Improvement Emission Factor
a. Adding sample plots from BLI / FORDIA and NFI plot research
b. EF peat fire preparation based on research and a better approach
5. Improvements in uncertainty assessment
6. Includes Enhance of Forest Carbon Stock activities

7. 1st FREL wetland emissions Calculation
u Peatland
u AGB emissions (tier2)
u Emissions from peat decomposition (tier 1)
u Mangrove
u AGB emissions
• Peatland
• AGB, BGB, DoM (Tier 2) emissions
• Emissions from peat decomposition (tier 2)
• Mangrove
• AGB, BGB, DoM emissions
• Emissions from Organic Soil
2nd FREL Wetland Emission Calculation Plan

8. 1st FREL Uncertainty Calculation
u Propagation error from activity data and emission
factors (Tier 2)
• Adding sources of uncertainty (allometric, sample, etc.)
• Applying Tier 2 uncertainty calculations (montecarlo
simulation)
2nd FREL Uncertainty Plan

9. Stressing for each session
Session 1 Peatland Emission Factors (EF): Peat EF used in the FREL 2016 and
planned to be used in the FREL 2020 à Drainage Organic Soil
Session 2 Peatland EF: Data availability and gaps à Peat fire, peat decomposition
Session 3 Mangrove EF: Mangrove EF to be used in the FREL 2020 à EF AGB and
soil organic
Session 4 Mangrove EF: Data availability and gaps à Development to tier 2
Session 5 FREL uncertainty estimates: What is needed to reduce uncertainty?
Session 6 FREL uncertainty estimates à Montecarlo simulation (tier2)
· What is the acceptable uncertainty for an improved FREL 2020
· What at does it take?
Session 7 TACCC principles: How TACCC diagnose can be used to improve FREL 2020
Session 8 TACCC principles à TACCC diagnostic
· What was in FREL 2016?
· What have to be there in FREL 2020?
Session 9 How best to support FREL improvement?
Session 10 Open discussion
