This report covers the technical assessment of the submission of India, on a voluntary basis, on its proposed forest reference level (FRL), in accordance with decision 13/CP.19 and in the context of results-based payments. The FRL proposed by India covers the activity “sustainable management of forests”, which is among the activities included in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70. In its submission, India has developed a national FRL. The FRL presented in the original submission, for the reference period 2000–2008, corresponds to –49,700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. The assessment team notes that the data and information used by India in constructing its FRL are partially transparent and not complete and therefore not fully in accordance with the guidelines contained in the annex to decision 12/CP.17. This report contains the assessed FRL and a few areas identified by the assessment team for future technical improvement, according to the scope of the technical assessment contained in the annex to decision 13/CP.19.
