This learning event explores the challenges we face in designing and implementing national and subnational forest carbon monitoring systems, and in developing a process that is customised to both international requirements and to national circumstances. It brings together participants with different expertise and backgrounds to discuss challenges related to various aspects of REDD+ MRV, ranging from different technology options, institutional arrangements, varying country capacities and REDD+ readiness.
