What are Safeguards? – Origins • Started with World Bank • Created as a response to civil society concern about controversial projects • Adopted by other international institutions • Requires borrowers to mitigate risk. • Examples of risk mitigation: • Environmental and social impact assessment • Required consultations with affected communities • Restoring the livelihoods of displaced people.
Evolution of Safeguards for REDD+ • From ‘Do No Harm’ to ‘Secure Benefits’ • From ‘infrastructure project’ focus to program focus • Adoption of SESA framework Social and Environmental Strategic Assessment • Safeguards as ‘proxy’ for investor risk. • Strong private-sector interest in safeguards. • Will jurisdictions ‘compete’ on safeguards for REDD+?

Design your own system.....or use existing standards?
