2012 is used, along with Guyana’s historic emissions level for the period 2000 to 2009 (0.06%) as established in the GNA. Using a total carbon stock of forests in aboveground and belowground biomass of 19,197,411,268 tCO2e, Guyana’s Proposed Reference Level for its REDD+ Programme is 48.7 MtCO2e. Through this approach,

Through this approach, Guyana can continue to avoid emissions in the amount of 48.7 MtCO2e annually if adequate incentives are provided.
