Abstract

This technical report covers the technical analysis of the technical annex submitted on a voluntary basis, in the context of results-based payments, by Chile on 11 February 2025 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, reducing emissions from forest degradation, conservation of forest carbon stocks and enhancement of forest carbon stocks, 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)/ forest reference level (FRL) proposed by Chile in its modified FREL/FRL submission of May 2023.

Chile reported the results of implementing these activities for 2018–2021, which amount to 238,793 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO2 eq) per year for 2018–2019 and 8,397,944 t CO2 eq/year for 2020–2021 and were measured against the assessed FREL/FRL of 18,052,357.14 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 Chile in the technical annex are mostly transparent and consistent with the data and information used for establishing the assessed FREL/FRL 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.
