Build and Delivery Elements
Build and Delivery: Requirements
Build and Deliver an End-to-end Prototype
Provides an Integrated Carbon Information System
Creates technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to assess carbon benefits of GEF and other program (future) carbon impact and benefits
Enables technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to promote Best Practices and positive socio-economic outcomes
Supports technical measurement and monitoring capabilities to enable policy and institutional context analysis
Build and Delivery: Requirements
System will have certain functional attributes:
Measure actual carbon stocks, calculate sequestered carbon at any given moment during project implementation.
Forecast feasible carbon targets for GEF projects.
Recommend policy/institutional changes to maximize carbon benefits or minimize trade-offs.
Support capacity development components of GEF and non-GEF projects for subsequent country and community use.
Build and Delivery: Outputs
Provides project design options to optimize carbon stock increases with livelihood benefits
Provides capabilities to asses carbon characteristics and carbon benefits of GEF projects
Provides access to agroforestry information for creating integrated sustainable agriculture systems
Optimizes multiple benefits within a smallholder carbon project
Build and Delivery: Design
Constructed on a previous approach called the Carbon PMMP: Protocols (P) that provide both tools and guidance
for measurement and monitoring of carbon in agricultural, agro-forestry, and forest landscapes
Measurement (M) that provide both above and below ground measurements of carbon on the landscape, considers all IPCC pools and is robust and statistically accurate suitable for project and program evaluation of carbon benefits
Monitoring (M) that allows for continuous measurements over time for on going evaluation of progress in program carbon benefits
Participatory (P) involvement of user communities with the GEF, UNEP and rural communities and their land managers.
Build and Delivery: Components
Integration of a suite of measurement and monitoring methods and technologies:
1. Ground based sample frame collection of in-situ measurements of above ground, belowground and soil carbon and nitrogen
2. Laboratory analysis of in situ samples3. Ground-calibrated remote sensing observations of
land use and cover, vegetation attributes and structure
4. Statistical analytical and spatial analysis of stratified samples and continuous fields
5. Numerical models 6. Local and program wide social/economic impact tools
and best practice tools
Build and Deliver
Aim: to apply emerging technologies to measure and monitor land use changes to provide accurate environmental and carbon risk information.

Remote Sensing
Key Elements of Measurement
Ground measurements provide calibration and detailed sample frame analysis
Remote sensing takes the ground samples to extrapolate spatially to the landscape
Remote sensing characterizes spatial heterogeneity and land use
Spectral analysis provides rapid soil carbon measurement
GIS provides the data base framework for organizing spatial data
Carbon and nitrogen models provide ex ante calculations and detailed accounting
Web-enabled geospatial information systems to provide local and global access
The Technology Suite
Integrates all of these essential components through key components
•Ground measurement and calibration•Site characterization and planning•Carbon and Nitrogen accounting &
modeling•Access to web based spatial information
