Public funding for forest mitigation activities greatly increased • CI-Japan influenced revision of National Biodiversity Strategy, G8 summit • CI-Japan developed private sector partnerships with Toyota ($1.7Million/3Y) Daikin ($450,000/3Y), Daiwa ($75,000K/6Y), Mitsubishi Corp, Nissan, UCC • ITPI involved in the development of a new category of protection, “Indigenous Protected Area” • Indigenous People and Climate Change Workshop at UNPFII with 120 participants from around the globe and a coalition under construction FY08 Achievements
CCG’s International Policy Division Provides leadership and coordination of CI’s international policy engagement. Principal Functions: • Influence political leaders; • Participate in diverse and influential coalitions; • Integrate biodiversity conservation into international economic/development policy; • Increased funding for biodiversity conservation; • Identify innovative and new fundraising opportunities.
CCG’s International Policy Division Issue: • With the current staff capacity of 3 FTE, CCG’s International Policy Division cannot effectively influence several of the major policy priorities of CI, particularly in the climate change arena. CI has the most practical experience in forest carbon mitigationand marine adaptation. • On the adaptation side, CCG needs to promote ecosystem services as a viable adaptation response as many of the key funding programs and priorities begin to be defined • Over the next few years, the WB multi-billion dollar climate funds, EU carbon markets, and others. Additional Needs: • 1 FTEDirector for Climate Mitigation, focus on forests and biofuels (UNFCCC, Climate Action Network) • .5 FTEManager for Climate Adaptation, shared with ITPI focus on ecosystem based adaptation measures and funding • .5 FTECoordinatorfor Policy shared with USG policy – currently no designated administrative support staff for policy program
CCG’s USG Affairs Program Principal Functions: CCG’s USG Affairs Program engages, educates and aids U.S. policy makers to address threats to biodiversity.
CCG’s USG Affairs Program Issue: • Need to increase our staff to maximize our leverage points and capitalize on the wealth of opportunities with the USG. This need has increased exponentially in recent months as climate change takes center stage and as we look towards a new Administration and a new Congress. Additional Needs: • 1 FTE Directorfor US Congressional Relations to focus on the U.S. government, increase CI’s capacity to build relationships and share our science-based, solution-oriented approaches to conservation with the Administration. • 1 FTESenior Manager to focus on the evolution of U.S. climate change legislation – both regard to forest carbon and adaptation activities. This person will need to also focus on biofuels, broader energy and farm bill policies that impact climate change provisions as well as international conservation priorities. • .5 FTECoordinatorfor Policy shared with the International policy team for support with administrative aspects.
CCG’s Public Funding Division Assist CI’s field programs with identifying new sources of funding and accessing bilateral and multilateral funds through proposal review, reporting and information sharing Principal Functions: • increase the capacity in field programs through training on multilateral and bilateral institutions and proposal writing • maintain the network and contacts with existing public donors • explore new relationships with public funding entities
CCG’s Public Funding Division Issue: With the current staff capacity CCG’s Public Funding cannot accommodate all the programs needs in terms of access to public funds, has not the capacity to review all proposals, lacks capacity to develop relationships with major actors (WB, GEF, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank) and is not working on building the fundraising capacity of field programs. Additional Needs: • 1 FTE Director for multilateral relations • 1 FTE Senior Manager Proposal Development • 1 FTE Senior Manager, capacity building, communication and proposal development
CI-Japan Mobilize financial, policy, and moral support from Japan for CI’s global conservation efforts Principal Functions: • Influence Japanese government policies on ODA, climate change and carbon markets, and conservation • Raise funding for CI programs through private sector partnerships and public funding • Influence Japanese corporations on their business strategies and practices • Raise public awareness on global biodiversity conservation and CI • Develop and strengthen networks amongst conservation groups in Japan
CI-Japan Issue:Need to strengthen capacity for operational management, i.e. finance, HR, and IT in order to meet CI internal reporting requirements, as well as to prepare for legal registration. CI-Japan needs to expand office space in order to accommodate this minimum addition and foreseeable expansion in near future. Additional Needs: • 1 FTE Accountant currently working only part-time.
CCG’s Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Initiative Principal Functions: CCG’s ITPI provides institution-wide leadership and coordination on CI’s policy, collaboration, interaction and fundraising with indigenous people and conservation efforts.
CCG’s Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Initiative Issue:With the current staff capacity ITPI cannot effectively influence new priorities such as climate change and growing policy needs with respect to indigenous people. Additional Needs: • 0.5 FTE Manager, Climate Change Adaptation Policy focusing on indigenous issues – position reports to International Policy, as well.
CCG Network Principal Functions: Coordinates all activities of CCG, provides a financial and administrative support to CCG network and prospect new policy and public funding opportunities.
CCG Network Issue: In order to increase the influence of CI in key policy issues and engage with additional European partners, it is proposed to establish a physical presence in Europe. Additional Needs: • 1 FTE Director Europe as there is currently no staff presence in Europe. • 1 FTE Support Staff Europe • 1 FTE Senior Manager, International Policy Events
CCG’s Needs Summary Additional Needs: • 1 FTE Director, Climate Mitigation • 1 FTE Manager, Adaptation Policy (Int’l policy & ITPI) • 1 FTE Coordinator (Int’l Policy & US Policy) • 1 FTE Director, US Congressional Relations • 1 FTE Senior Manager, USG Climate Change • 1 FTE Director, Multilateral Funding • 1 FTE Senior Manager, Multilaterals • 1 FTE Senior Manager, Capacity Building and Proposal Development • 1 FTE Senior Manager, International Policy Events Planner • 1 FTE Director Europe • 1 FTE Support Staff Europe • 1 FTE Accountant CI Japan • TOTAL 12.0
