MGD Advisory Group Meeting
Sydney 5th March 2015
Agenda
Mission – to advise on the way forward.Issues:
1 MGD implications of country experience discussions
2 MGD2 and the Portal
3 Modules
4 Outline of future work
Outcome of country experience discussions
• Main mode of MGD interaction with countries via agencies and programmes – SilvaCarbon, UN-REDD. MGD a source document for this
• Continuing need for an anchor – what’s operational, linked to international agreement and IPCC methods
• Portal and modules give flexibility• Need for advice on sensible applications for
technologies• Useful to have end-to-end flowchart • In–country institutional basis crucial (coordination,
volatility, absorptive capacity…). Increase advice…• Co-benefits linkage (wider forest values…)

MGD2 and the Portal• Existing MGD is version 1 – need for update foreseen, taking account of
experience. • Combination with portal gives access tuned to individual needs linked to
security of the MGD foundation document. MGD portal can help the link between pillars of GFOI
• Version 2 provides opportunity for - Logical synergy with portal- updates on institutional arrangements - strengthen guidance on integration- more complete material on statistical inference (emission factors as well
as area data) and uncertainties- Response to country experiences- Integration of modules- Updates from research track- Updated core data availability
Proposal – joint production of portal and version 2 according to agreed outline
