  1. REDD+ A sub-national pilot project in CHIAPAS, MEXICO

  2. Una REDD+ para Chiapas Mexico introduced the R-PIN to the World Bank and its was adopted in July 2008. At national level, a multi-agency group begun to work on REDD+ national strategy (R-PP approved). This group promoted the initiative to implement pilot projects for resolving the challenges of the process.

  3. Chiapas as Sub-national Pilotproject • The Chiapas state was selected based on: • Diversity of forest ecosystems (mangrove forest, temperate forest); • Has social and cultural diversity (coexistence of different indigenous groups) with a complexity of social relations and high vulnerability to climate change. • Existence of priority ecosystems (Rainforest), high biodiversity and emblematic Mesoamerican species( the quetzal, the peacock, the jaguar, etc.). • For this reason the implementation of REDD + in such a complex environment is challenging the scientific, technical, social and political issues.

  4. Una REDD+ para Chiapas • Chiapas StateGovernment: • Secretaría de Medio Ambiente, Vivienda e Historia Natural del Estado de Chiapas (SEMAVIHN) • Mexico Federal Government: • Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP) • Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR) • Corredor Biológico Mesoamericano en México (CBMM) • Researchinstitutes • El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) • El Colegio de Posgraduados (COLPOS) • Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP) • NGO • AMBIO • Pronatura Sur • MASCAFE • Conservación Internacional (CI)

  5. The great value of the initiative of the group “UNA REDD+ para Chiapas” is the effort and the ability to make decisions by consensus among different levels and sectors of government, local and international organizations for developing a more comprehensive and participatory process, as its evolve.

  6. REDD+ strategies • Safeguards: The success depends on increasing the quality of life in communities as well as conserve biodiversity and the ecosystems services. And of full recognition of property rights • Include the "+“: conservation of carbon stocks of forests, sustainable management of forests and increase carbon stocks of forests. • Is a tool: REDD+ is a tool to promote sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity and not only to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

  7. Strategy components • To strengthen and promote recognition of the knowledge and experiences on resources management developed by Ejidos and communities in Chiapas. • To promote communities full participation in the REDD+. • To build capacity and empower local organizations and institutions. • To inform specific recommendations to public policy design and to adapt current frameworks. • To design a monitor, report and verification (MRV) system robust, reliable and cost-effective

  8. Bottom up Strategy

  9. Bottom up MRV • At local level, the minimum scale of application for REDD + is going to be the community. • Each community would has its own baseline. This is possible because: • Mexico have many satellite images. • and have database of measurements of C in different ecosystems.

  16. Conclusions • Chiapas Sub-national Pilot Project is going to provide lessons learned and methodologies to the National Level. • In Chiapas it has been developed a community monitoring methodology that considers all of the IPCC carbon stocks (tree biomass, herbaceous biomass, litter, dead matter and soil) , associated with the methodologies used in national inventories of forests and soils. • The monitoring process will be conducted by community technicians. They will quantify their carbon in the sampling sites.

  17. Conclusion • The community monitoring will help to: • 1) reduce the uncertainty of the estimation via the spectral interpretation of images, and calibrate algorithms • 2) will build capacity in communities to enable them to quantify and monitor data in real time the carbon stored and captured in their fields, on a reliable way. • This initiative will enable community participation in the REDD + from the starting point and allow them to take control of monitoring their own resources. • They will also be owners of the information generated and therefore will have elements for local decision-making to manage their production systems within a policy to REDD +.
