Perceptions of access and rights to forest land in indigenous and mestizo communities at the agricultural frontier: lessons for REDD+ governance in the BOSOWAS Biosphere reserve, NicaraguaThis REDD-net article provides a qualitative analysis of the perception and knowledge of representatives of mestizos and indigenous populations on the formal and informal rights to access and use of forest land in the Biosphere Reserve BOSA WAS (RBB) in Nicaragua.
Going after adaptation co-benefits: a REDD+ programme in FijiFiji has an advanced REDD+ policy and planning process. By using REDD+ financing to conserve forests, Fiji is not only contributing to climate change mitigation but also to climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, sustainable land management, and biodiversity conservation, all of which have direct benefits for communities. In this 'inside story', Murray Ward of GTripleC, in associa...
Adaptation Case Study in Thailand (Thai)Poverty and food insecurity, combined with a recent shift towards cash crops, make Ban Huay Win village particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Despite a number of development challenges, Ban Huay Win has multiple assets that can support adaptation efforts as well as potential carbon sequestration initiatives. The community places high value on the surrounding forests and lo...
Linking Adaptation and Mitigation through Community Forestry: Case Studies from AsiaGiven the role that forests play in mitigation and adaptation to climate change, there are potential synergies between REDD+ and the ability of populations to adapt to the impacts of climate change. As many countries in the region develop their national adaptation strategies, explicit incorporation of forests within these plans needs to be ensured. Conversely, mitigation activities such as RE...
Pathways for Implementing REDD+This issue discusses the role of carbon markets in scaling up investments for REDD+ in developing countries. Nine articles share experiences and make suggestions on the key elements of a future international REDD+ regime: Architecture and underlying principles, measuring, reporting and verification (MRV), private-sector involvement, the rights of indigenous people and local communities, biodi...
From REDD+ to Low Carbon Growth Strategy: An opportunity for Provincial ActionsA presentation outlining the organizational structure of the Indonesian National Council on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Accord and Indonesia's emission profile from 2000 to predicted values in 2020. The presentation then looks at deforestation in Indonesia, before detailing a framework for a Low Carbon Growth path where REDD+ fits into the CO2 mitigation area. Finally th...
Harvesting Knowledge on REDD+: Early lessons from the FCPF Initiative and BeyondThe FCPF initiative is a performance-based pilot of REDD+: this working paper reports lessons learnt so far by the FCPF's Facility Management Team in implementing, financing and managing REDD+ projects in various countries. The relevance to low carbon development can be found on p.17 which contains a useful diagram linking REDD+ strategies to low carbon development based on experience in the ...
Policy Brief: Low carbon growth for GhanaThis policy brief is part of the Technical Assistance to the Ghanaian National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF). It details how low carbon growth could be pursued in Ghana and the steps Ghana can take to identify the short term benefits of low carbon growth and how REDD+ fits into this.
REDD+ Design in Cambodia, Indonesia and Mexico: Lessons to Inform International REDD+ Policy DevelopmentEffective REDD+ policy development must integrate analysis and policy at all levels to design complementary international and in-country domestic structures, with sub- national programs combined into a single national program. CCAP studies provide some evidence that the policies and initiatives already underway have a significant potential to reduce deforestation locally, and to be scaled up ...
Pilot Forest Carbon Trust Fund: Rewarding local communities for forest conservationThis infobrief presents the first Forest Carbon Trust Fund in Nepal, and lessons learnt from this pilot project. It provides insights for understanding what kind of governance system will be required for implementing REDD+ at the national level when communities are actively involved in forest management. The project will also contribute to global learning on how to build the capacity of local...
