  3. Project origin Poznán, December 2008 Objective fixed by Guyana's President and Ministers of Environment of France and Suriname.

  4. Biogeographical context Guyana plateau • 100 million ha of forest • 50 million ha within the project • Humid tropical forest ecosystem • Low deforestation rate(<0,3% / year) • Biodiversity • Socioeconomic development issues

  5. Outline • Context • Objectives • Activities • Budget and actors

  6. Specific objectives of this REDD+ project • Create a technical and dialogue platform at regional level to share experiences and good practices • Support countries in their readiness process for REDD+ mechanism by compiling and analyzing existing data and methodologies • Build capacities while improving methodologies and techniques to assess reduction of emissions due to deforestation and degradation • Develop a decision making tool to help assessing the impact of policies and measures on climate change and on socio-economical development • Guiding principles: • Transparency • Regional cooperation • Respect of National Policies and Sovereignty • Synergies with other REDD+ regional initiatives

  7. Outline • Context • Objectives • Activities • Budget and actors

  8. Activity 1: Assessment of forest cover and stocks Identifying and compiling existing data and methodologies on forest cover evolution and forest carbon stocks Evaluation of available methodologies (cost-benefit, conformity with IPCC good practices guidance) Create a cooperative framework for knowledge sharing Build countries capacities in terms of forest cover and stocks monitoring through the creation of working groups. • Outcomes • Improved methodologies and capacities in terms of forest cover and stocks monitoring • Support to countries forest emissions inventory (UNFCCC type) • Reinforcement of technical cooperation among countries on those subjects

  9. Activity 2: Improve the deforestation/degradation dynamic understanding Identify main deforestation/degradation drivers and underlying causes. Compile existing quantitative and spatial data within a regionaldatabase Identifyneeds in terms of data collection and capacity building to complement and update the database Reinforceregional dialogue on transnational dynamics of deforestation/degradation • Outcomes: • Improve the understanding, monitoring and management of transnational deforestation and forestdegradationdynamics. • A regionaldatabase on main drivers of deforestation/degradation. • Reinforcedcapacities and information in order to feed national referenceemissionlevels and support the assessment of socio-economical impact of policies and measures

  10. Activity 3: Improvemodelingcapacities to help decision-makingprocess • Initiate a scientificcooperationplatform on modelling • Reinforceregionalmodellingcapacities • Developtools to help policydecision-makersestimate the impact of developmentpolicies, measureforestcarbonemissions and socio-economicaldevelopment. • Outcomes: • Strenghtenedcooperationbetweenuniversities and researchcenters on land use change and socio-economicaldevelopmentmodeling • A decisionmakingtool to help monitoring and managing REDD+ mechanismimplementation in countries • Reinforcedcapacities on modeling
