This technical report covers the technical analysis of the technical annex submitted on a voluntary basis, in the context of results-based payments, by Guyana on 3 April 2024 through its first biennial transparency report in accordance with paragraph 45 of decision 1/CP.24 and paragraph 14 of decision 18/CMA.1. The technical annex provides data and information on the activities reducing emissions from deforestation and reducing emissions from forest degradation, which are activities included in paragraph 70 of decision 1/CP.16, and covers the same national territorial forest area as the assessed forest reference emission level (FREL) proposed by Guyana in its modified FREL submission of 27 April 2015.

Guyana reported the results of implementing these activities for 2013–2022, which amount to 31,081,049 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO₂ eq) for 2013, 31,132,776 t CO₂ eq for 2014, 35,108,154 t CO₂ eq for 2015, 36,089,073 t CO₂ eq for 2016, 35,647,957 t CO₂ eq for 2017, 35,382,457 t CO₂ eq for 2018, 37,283,717 t CO₂ eq for 2019, 36,266,466 t CO₂ eq for 2020, 36,177,556 t CO₂ eq for 2021 and 37,155,285 t CO₂ eq for 2022 and were measured against the assessed FREL of 46,301,251 t CO₂ eq/year.

The data and information provided in the technical annex are in overall accordance with the guidelines contained in the annex to decision 14/CP.19. The technical analysis concluded that the data and information provided by Guyana in the technical annex are mostly transparent and mostly consistent with the data and information used for establishing the assessed FREL in accordance with paragraph 71(b) of decision 1/CP.16 and section II of decision 12/CP.17. This report contains the findings from the technical analysis and a few areas identified for capacity-building and future technical improvement in accordance with paragraph 14 of decision 14/CP.19
