As a very technical process, the FREL has two main components. Activity Data (AD) and Emissions Factors (EF) give a country an understanding of its forest dynamic from an emissions standpoint. The estimation of AD and EF is the basis for REDD+ results-based payments presented in the FREL
In accordance with decision 9/CP.19, having an assessed national reference level in place is one of the requirements in order to be eligible for results-based payments. If Belize aims to implement REDD+ activities, it must voluntarily submit a reference level to the UNFCCC secretariat, provided that the information meets the international guidelines.
