The technical annex provides data and information on the activity reducing emissions from deforestation, which is an activity 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 Colombia in its modified FREL submission of August 2020.

Colombia reported the results of implementing this activity for 2018–2022, which amount to –15,530,075 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO₂ eq) for 2018, 9,027,936 t CO₂ eq for 2019, 5,198,953 t CO₂ eq for 2020, 7,562,547 t CO₂ eq for 2021 and 36,566,496 t CO₂ eq for 2022 and were measured against the assessed FREL of 118,613,986 t CO₂ eq for 2018, 124,744,070 t CO₂ eq for 2019, 130,154,027 t CO₂ eq for 2020, 134,681,829 t CO₂ eq for 2021 and 138,219,454 t CO₂ eq for 2022.

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 Colombia in the technical annex are mostly transparent and 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.
