<p><strong>Annex 1 &#x2013; Terms and Definitions </strong></p>
<p><strong>FOREST</strong></p>
<p>Land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with <u>tree</u>s higher than 5 meters and a <u>canopy cover</u> of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds <em>in situ</em>. It does not include land that is predominantly under agricultural or urban land use. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>Forest is determined both by the presence of trees and the absence of other predominant land uses. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 meters. </li>
<li>Includes areas with young trees that have not yet reached but which are expected to reach a canopy cover of at least 10 percent and tree height of 5 meters or more. It also includes areas that are temporarily unstocked due to clear-cutting as part of a forest management practice or natural disasters, and which are expected to be regenerated within 5 years. Local conditions may, in exceptional cases, justify that a longer time frame is used.</li>
<li>Includes forest roads, firebreaks and other small open areas; forest in national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas such as those of specific environmental, scientific, historical, cultural or spiritual interest.</li>
<li>Includes windbreaks, shelterbelts and corridors of trees with an area of more than 0.5 hectares and width of more than 20 meters.</li>
<li>Includes abandoned shifting cultivation land with a regeneration of trees that have, or are expected to reach, a canopy cover of at least 10 percent and tree height of at least 5 meters.</li>
<li>Includes areas with mangroves in tidal zones, regardless whether this area is classified as land area or not.</li>
<li>Includes rubberwood, cork oak and Christmas tree plantations. </li>
<li>Includes areas with bamboo and palms provided that land use, height and canopy cover criteria are met.</li>
<li><u>Excludes</u> tree stands in agricultural production systems, such as fruit tree plantations, oil palm plantations, olive orchards and agroforestry systems when crops are grown under tree cover. <u>Note:</u> Some agroforestry systems such as the &#x201C;Taungya&#x201D; system where crops are grown only during the first years of the forest rotation should be classified as forest.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>ABOVE-GROUND BIOMASS</strong></p>
<p>All living biomass above the soil including stem, stump, branches, bark, seeds, and foliage.</p>
<p><u>Explanatory note </u></p>
<ol>
<li>In cases where forest understorey is a relatively small component of the aboveground biomass carbon pool, it is acceptable to exclude it, provided this is done in a consistent manner throughout the inventory time series.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>PROTECTED AREAS</strong></p>
<p>Areas especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means.</p>
<p><strong>FOREST AREA WITHIN PROTECTED AREAS</strong></p>
<p>Forest area within formally established protected areas independently of the purpose for which the protected areas were established. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>Includes IUCN Categories I &#x2013; IV</li>
<li><u>Excludes</u> IUCN Categories V-VI</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>FOREST AREA WITH MANAGEMENT PLAN</strong></p>
<p>Forest area that has a long-term documented management plan, aiming at defined management goals, which is periodically revised. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>A forest area with management plan may refer to forest management unit level or aggregated forest management unit level (forest blocks, farms, enterprises, watersheds, municipalities, or wider units).</li>
<li>A management plan must include adequate detail on operations planned for individual operational units (stands or compartments) but may also provide general strategies and activities planned to reach management goals.</li>
<li>Includes forest area in protected areas with management plan.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED FOREST MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION</strong></p>
<p>Forest area certified under a forest management certification scheme with published standards and is independently verified by a third-party.</p>

<p><strong>Sub-indicator 1 - Annual forest area change rate</strong></p>
<p><u>Unit</u>: Percent</p>
<p><u>Reference period:</u> 2010-2020</p>

<p><u>Translation to dashboard/traffic light:</u></p>
<p>The following flowchart explains the logic behind the translation of this indicator to a dashboard/traffic light:</p>
<p>Forest area change direction</p>
<p>Forest area stable </p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>Forest area decreasing</p>
<p>Change in forest area loss rate </p>
<p>Loss rate</p>
<p>decreasing</p>
<p>Loss rate stable</p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>The forest area change direction is determined by examining the value of the forest area change rate for the most recent period, a negative value indicate a loss of forest area, a zero value means that forest area is stable, and a positive value means that forest area has increased. The change in forest area loss rate<sup><a href="#footnote-2" id="footnote-ref-2">[1]</a></sup> is based on a comparison of the annual forest area change rate for the period 2010-2020 with the annual <u>forest area change rate for the period 2000-2010 </u>(<u>baseline).</u></p>
<p><u>Comments:</u></p>
<p>This traffic light takes into consideration both the direction of forest area change (if forest area increases or decreases) as well as changes in the rate of forest area loss &#x2013; the latter important in order to indicate progress among countries that are losing forest area but manage to reduce the loss rate. </p>
<p>The baseline should be updated every 5 years. In 2020 a new baseline was calculated for the period 2000-2010 based on updated country data. </p>

<p>The ratio (r) between the current indicator value and the value reported for 2010 is calculated; r&gt;1 means an increase in stock per hectare, r&lt;1 means a decrease while 1 indicates no change.

<p>This traffic light takes into consideration both the direction of forest area change (if forest area increases or decreases) as well as changes in the rate of forest area loss &#x2013; the latter important in order to indicate progress among countries that are losing forest area but manage to reduce the loss rate. </p>
<p>The baseline should be updated every 5 years. In 2020 a new baseline was calculated for the period 2000-2010 based on updated country data. </p>

<p><strong>Annex 1 &#x2013; Terms and Definitions </strong></p>
<p><strong>FOREST</strong></p>
<p>Land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with <u>tree</u>s higher than 5 meters and a <u>canopy cover</u> of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds <em>in situ</em>. It does not include land that is predominantly under agricultural or urban land use. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>Forest is determined both by the presence of trees and the absence of other predominant land uses. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 meters. </li>
<li>Includes areas with young trees that have not yet reached but which are expected to reach a canopy cover of at least 10 percent and tree height of 5 meters or more. It also includes areas that are temporarily unstocked due to clear-cutting as part of a forest management practice or natural disasters, and which are expected to be regenerated within 5 years. Local conditions may, in exceptional cases, justify that a longer time frame is used.</li>
<li>Includes forest roads, firebreaks and other small open areas; forest in national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas such as those of specific environmental, scientific, historical, cultural or spiritual interest.</li>
<li>Includes windbreaks, shelterbelts and corridors of trees with an area of more than 0.5 hectares and width of more than 20 meters.</li>
<li>Includes abandoned shifting cultivation land with a regeneration of trees that have, or are expected to reach, a canopy cover of at least 10 percent and tree height of at least 5 meters.</li>
<li>Includes areas with mangroves in tidal zones, regardless whether this area is classified as land area or not.</li>
<li>Includes rubberwood, cork oak and Christmas tree plantations. </li>
<li>Includes areas with bamboo and palms provided that land use, height and canopy cover criteria are met.</li>
<li><u>Excludes</u> tree stands in agricultural production systems, such as fruit tree plantations, oil palm plantations, olive orchards and agroforestry systems when crops are grown under tree cover. <u>Note:</u> Some agroforestry systems such as the &#x201C;Taungya&#x201D; system where crops are grown only during the first years of the forest rotation should be classified as forest.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>ABOVE-GROUND BIOMASS</strong></p>
<p>All living biomass above the soil including stem, stump, branches, bark, seeds, and foliage.</p>
<p><u>Explanatory note </u></p>
<ol>
<li>In cases where forest understorey is a relatively small component of the aboveground biomass carbon pool, it is acceptable to exclude it, provided this is done in a consistent manner throughout the inventory time series.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>PROTECTED AREAS</strong></p>
<p>Areas especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means.</p>
<p><strong>FOREST AREA WITHIN PROTECTED AREAS</strong></p>
<p>Forest area within formally established protected areas independently of the purpose for which the protected areas were established. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>Includes IUCN Categories I &#x2013; IV</li>
<li><u>Excludes</u> IUCN Categories V-VI</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>FOREST AREA WITH MANAGEMENT PLAN</strong></p>
<p>Forest area that has a long-term documented management plan, aiming at defined management goals, which is periodically revised. </p>
<p><u>Explanatory notes</u></p>
<ol>
<li>A forest area with management plan may refer to forest management unit level or aggregated forest management unit level (forest blocks, farms, enterprises, watersheds, municipalities, or wider units).</li>
<li>A management plan must include adequate detail on operations planned for individual operational units (stands or compartments) but may also provide general strategies and activities planned to reach management goals.</li>
<li>Includes forest area in protected areas with management plan.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED FOREST MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION</strong></p>
<p>Forest area certified under a forest management certification scheme with published standards and is independently verified by a third-party.</p>

<p><u>Translation to dashboard/traffic light:</u></p>
<p>The following flowchart explains the logic behind the translation of this indicator to a dashboard/traffic light:</p>
<p>Forest area change direction</p>
<p>Forest area stable </p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>Forest area decreasing</p>
<p>Change in forest area loss rate </p>
<p>Loss rate</p>
<p>decreasing</p>
<p>Loss rate stable</p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>The forest area change direction is determined by examining the value of the forest area change rate for the most recent period, a negative value indicate a loss of forest area, a zero value means that forest area is stable, and a positive value means that forest area has increased. The change in forest area loss rate<sup><a href="#footnote-2" id="footnote-ref-2">[1]</a></sup> is based on a comparison of the annual forest area change rate for the period 2010-2020 with the annual <u>forest area change rate for the period 2000-2010 </u>(<u>baseline).</u></p>
<p><u>Comments:</u></p>
<p>This traffic light takes into consideration both the direction of forest area change (if forest area increases or decreases) as well as changes in the rate of forest area loss &#x2013; the latter important in order to indicate progress among countries that are losing forest area but manage to reduce the loss rate. </p>
<p>The baseline should be updated every 5 years. In 2020 a new baseline was calculated for the period 2000-2010 based on updated country data. </p>

<p><strong>Annex 2 &#x2013; Methodology</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sub-indicator 1 - Annual forest area change rate</strong></p>
<p><u>Unit</u>: Percent</p>
<p><u>Reference period:</u> 2010-2020</p>
<p><u>Method of estimation:</u> Compound annual change rate formula as follows:</p>
<p>r = [(A<sub>t2</sub>/A<sub>t1</sub>)<sup>1/(t2-t1) </sup>&#x2013; 1]*100</p>
<p>with: </p>
<p>r = compound annual change rate for the period t<sub>1 - </sub>t<sub>2 </sub></p>
<p>t<sub>i</sub> = time i (year)</p>
<p>A<sub>t1 </sub>= forest area at t<sub>1 </sub></p>
<p>A<sub>t2 </sub>= forest area at t<sub>2</sub></p>
<p><u>Translation to dashboard/traffic light:</u></p>
<p>The following flowchart explains the logic behind the translation of this indicator to a dashboard/traffic light:</p>
<p>Forest area change direction</p>
<p>Forest area stable </p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>Forest area decreasing</p>
<p>Change in forest area loss rate </p>
<p>Loss rate</p>
<p>decreasing</p>
<p>Loss rate stable</p>
<p>or increasing</p>
<p>The forest area change direction is determined by examining the value of the forest area change rate for the most recent period, a negative value indicate a loss of forest area, a zero value means that forest area is stable and a positive value means that forest area has increased. The change in forest area loss rate<sup><a href="#footnote-2" id="footnote-ref-2">[1]</a></sup> is based on a comparison of the annual forest area change rate for the period 2010-2020 with the annual <u>forest area change rate for the period 2000-2010 </u>(<u>baseline).</u></p>
<p><u>Comments:</u></p>
<p>This traffic light takes into consideration both the direction of forest area change (if forest area increases or decreases) as well as changes in the rate of forest area loss &#x2013; the latter important in order to indicate progress among countries that are losing forest area but manage to reduce the loss rate. </p>
<p>The baseline should be updated every 5 years. In 2020 a new baseline was calculated for the period 2000-2010 based on updated country data. Also, if a country reports new historical data to FAO within a 5-year cycle, the baseline for the country will be recalculated accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>Sub-indicator 2 &#x2013; Above-ground biomass stock in forest </strong></p>
<p><u>Unit</u>: tonnes/hectare</p>
<p><u>Reference year:</u> Latest reporting year</p>
<p><u>Method of estimation:</u> Reported directly by countries</p>
<p><u>Translation to dashboard/traffic light:</u></p>
<p>The indicator value for the latest reporting year is compared with the indicator value for previous reporting year for assessment of continuity of progress since last report.</p>
<p>The ratio (r) between the current indicator value and the previously reported value is calculated; r&gt;1 means an increase in stock per hectare, r&lt;1 means a decrease while 1 indicates no change. A narrow interval for r has been established to indicate a stable condition, and traffic-light colors are assigned as follows:</p>
<p> r &#x2265; 1.01 </p>
<p> 0.99 &lt; r &lt; 1.01</p>
<p> r &#x2264; 0.99</p>
<p><strong>Sub-indicator 3 &#x2013; Proportion of forest area located within legally established protected areas.</strong></p>
<p><u>Unit</u>: Percent</p>
<p><u>Reference year:</u> Latest reporting year</p>
<p><u>Method of estimation:</u> Forest area within legally established protected areas / forest area 2015 * 100</p>
<p><u>Translation to dashboard/traffic light:</u></p>
<p>The indicator value for latest reporting year is compared the indicator value for previous reporting year for assessment of continuity of progress since last report.</p>
<p>The ratio (r) between the current indicator value and the previously reported value is calculated; r&gt;1 means an increase in forest area within protected areas, r&lt;1 means a decrease while 1 indicates no change.

<p> r &#x2264; 0.99</p>
<p><u>Comment:</u></p>
<p>Using forest area in 2015 as denominator for estimating this indicator ensures that the time series of percentages reflect real changes in the forest area within legally established protected areas and is not affected by changes (losses or gains) in total forest area. </p>

<p>Quality of statistics produced and disseminated by the FAO is evaluated in terms of fitness for use i.e. the degree to which statistics meet the user&#x2019;s requirements. The quality dimensions assessed are: Relevance; Accuracy and Reliability; Timeliness and Punctuality; Coherence and Comparability; Accessibility and Clarity. Quality dimensions definitions are provided in the FAO Statistical Quality Assurance Framework (SQAF), which provides the definition of quality and describes quality principles for statistical outputs; statistical processes; institutional environment (http://www.fao.org/docrep/019/i3664e/i3664e.pdf). The SQAF is based on the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics and the Principles Governing International Statistical Activities (CCSA). Adherence to these principles ensures the quality of FAO statistical production processes and of statistical outputs. Regular quality assessments are conducted through the FAO Quality Assessment and Planning Survey (QAPS), a bi-annual survey designed to gather information on all of FAO&#x2019;s statistical activities, which is used to assess the extent to which quality standards are being met with a view to increasing compliance with the SQAF, and to document best practices and provide guidance for improvement where necessary. </p>
