  1. Driving to High Carbon Stocks Pathways on a REDD vehicle 2nd World Agroforestry Congress Symposium: High Carbon Stocks Development Pathways 26 August 2009, Nairobi, Kenya

  2. Driving to High Carbon Stocks Pathways on a REDD vehicle… Objective of the session REDD mechanism and process UN-REDD Programme Moving forward

  3. Importance of AFOLU Land-Use, Forestry and Agriculture = 32% of Global GHG Emissions 100% = 42Gt CO2e pa Waste Agriculture Power 14% 18% Forestry Industry Industrial processes Transport Fugitive Emissions Other fuel combustion Source: World Resources Institute Climate Analysis Indicators Tool

  4. Over half of mitigation potential in developing countries in AFOLU

  5. REDD past and future Not the first time a REDD idea came along… Excluded from CDM Transformational order of magnitude pa: 13Mha; 4Gt CO2; 15B$ COP11 Montreal (2005) REDD is back on the table COP13 Bali Roadmap adopted a resolution on REDD COP14 Poznan pushed it forward COP15 Copenhagen to deliver an agreement

  6. REDD basics REDD = Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries How does it work? RL-BAU! Reduce deforestation Measure it Create a carbon asset Find a market and sell it

  7. REDD as value chain

  8. REDD emerging issues RL MRV IP and CSO MB REDD, + and ++

  9. Reference level (RL) RL fundamental to assess performance Setting RL Historic rates of deforestation National circumstances Modeling

  10. Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV) Activity data Emission factors Reliability and IPCC guidelines MRV for degradation a particular challenge

  11. Multiple benefits (MB) REDD contributes not only to mitigation but also generates multiple benefits Biodiversity and ecosystems services Synergies and trade-offs

  12. Scope of REDD (REDD+) Only deforestation and degradation Conservation Carbon stock enhancement … and full terrestrial carbon

  13. What’s needed? Conducive International Climate Regime post-2012 Capacity to create a carbon asset “Capacity” reduce deforestation Real investment for SFM

  14. UN-REDD Programme • One-UN: collaborative programme FAO/UNDP/UNEP • Stakeholders participation, institution strengthening and capacity building • Coordination with other initiatives • Contribution to UNFCCC process • Help REDD see the light of day… equitable, effective, transformational! • Quick Start: • $52m initial contribution by Norway • Country actions • International support

  15. UN-REDD country programs 9 countries; $4.4M per country; Dialogue, consultations, technical assistance Methodology, payment distribution, REDD strategy Country ownership and leadership Pilot Countries Africa: DRC, Tanzania, Zambia Asia & Pacific: Indonesia, PNG, Vietnam Latin America: Bolivia, Panama, Paraguay

  16. UN-REDD international support Support building confidence on REDD Analysis and science Participation and capacity building Methodology and multiple-benefits Total budget:$6.9M

  17. Moving forward Forestry at a tipping point Stakeholder participation is key Time and confidence are of the essence Negotiation process: SBSTA and LCA High level event during UN GA (Sept 09) Copenhagen…yes we can… go REDD BUT…also A and OLU…
