  1. REDD+ FOR THE GUIANA SHIELDTechnical Cooperation Project Session 2 – Country Level Support Marie Calmel, ONF International December 11th, 2013 2ndSteering Committee Meeting, Macapá

  2. Introduction • Presentation of identified activities that could be supported by the project • In Suriname • In French Guiana • In Amapa • In Guyana • Discussion Presentation outline

  3. Last months observations: • Different level of advancement in the countries • All countries are very busy with their own activities and commitments to other national activities in terms of developing the REDD+ package (especially end of the year) • All countries acknowledge the benefits of regional discussions, but prioritize the development of the national framework for REDD+ (or for REDD+ type instrument) • Very complicated to propose activities and discussion topics that will fit in all the different countries immediate needs • Countries have immediate needs directly linked to the project objectives • Can the project provide Country Level Support? Introduction

  4. Available channels to provide country level support: • Focal Points • ONFI technical backstopping (100 days available, not all can be used) • Overview and additional support from Project Manager • NB: in addition to (not replacing) the other opportunities for capacity building • Objective: • Start active collaboration with countries • Enabling first outcomes and realistic achievements in a short term perspective • Facilitate the regional dialogue by reinforcing capacities • Facilitate the identification of capacity building needs and the design of a capacity building plan • Conditionality: • Type of support: technical expertise (man-days) • Scope: within the project components • Needs for capitalizing at regional level (experience sharing) Type of support

  5. Total estimated budget for country level support – 70k€ (~2.5% of total budget) • Focal Points support • About 20 man-days per country support • With 1 mission of an international expert • Type of expertise: • Remote sensing / GIS • Biomass inventories • REDD+ process (REL establishment, Monitoring system development, etc.) • And additional expertise upon agreements with countries/state/region • Some activities have already been identified Budget and level of support

  7. Objective : Study the feasibility of a REDD+ type instrument in French Guiana • Context: • As a French Department, French Guiana is not eligible to REDD+ • Last results of the GHG inventory performed by France in the framework of UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol shows that : • French Guyana account for half of the country deforestation • Reforestation in the region does not enable to compensate those emissions • Developing region with very high demographic growth (>3%/y) and increasing needs in terms of agricultural commodities. • Question: considering the international climate regime, as well as the France position and the European scheme, which type of instrument could help encouraging French Guiana to reduce its emissions? French Guiana
