As part of the Kyoto Protocol review process, the UNFCCC has approved conservativeness factors linked to specific uncertainty ranges. Essentially, these factors consider the 50% confidence interval
Conclusions The REDD+ matrix uses simple and flexible concepts (adaptable to country circumstances), allowing to estimate C stock change from Deforestation and forest Degradation even using tier 1 IPCC values. The application of a conservative discount to those tier-1 estimates increases the credibility of any possible claim of credit. The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of this approach may allow: - Broadening the participation to REDD+, allowing to join also those countries with limited forest monitoring capacity - Increasing the credibility of emission reductions estimated with tier- 1, while maintaining strong incentives for further increasing the accuracy of the estimates, i.e. to move to higher tiers. - Allow resource savings which can be reallocated to tackle the drivers of deforestation.
