Progress against the Warsaw Framework

The Philippines has not yet submitted any of the four Warsaw Framework elements to the UNFCCC. In 2017, progress on the NFMS continued, with UN-REDD programme support. An action plan for the implementation of the National Forest System of the Philippines was completed in 2017. The NFMS Action Plan was developed through consultations and focus group work. In addition, the UN-REDD Programme strengthened capacities through a training event on accuracy assessment of land cover/ land use change in the Philippines, and a training event on biomass and R statistical analysis using country field-inventory data.
