About
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POLICY BOARD APPROVED A TOTAL ALLOCATION OF US$6,335,384 FOR PNG'S FULL NATIONAL PROGRAMME. THE BUDGET DISTRIBUTION IN THE POLICY BOARD SUBMISSION FORM IS SHOWN IN THE TABLE TO THE RIGHT. THIS WILL BE UPDATED ONCE THE FINAL BUDGET DISTRIBUTION HAS BEEN APPROVED. The UN-REDD Programme was set up in 2008 to assist tropical forest countries in establishing a fair, equitable and transparent REDD regime. Papua New Guinea (PNG) is one of the nine pilot countries of the UN-REDD Programme’s initial phase. The proposed National Joint Programme (NJP) for PNG builds on the 2009 draft NJP which has received approval in principle by the Policy Board. It aims to support the Government of PNG to further progress its efforts towards REDD readiness and places heavy emphasis on the development of a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system for PNG, as an important complement to PNG’s domestic climate-change efforts.
PNG has taken a global lead in seeking to combat climate change, particularly by proposing measures to realise the carbon abatement opportunity offered by preserving and sustainably managing tropical forests, i.e. by introducing the concept of REDD-plus into international negotiations. Domestically, PNG is also committed to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The country’s Vision 2050 envisages low-carbon economic development, aiming to increase per capita GDP by a factor of three by 2030, while maintaining an aspirational goal of net carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to achieve this goal, PNG has made significant efforts in the past year to further the domestic agenda on climate change:
