  1. APFNetInternational Symposium on SFM GEF Investment Approach to Sustainable Forest Management Andrea Kutter GEF Secretariat Natural Resources Management Team Bejiing, September 2008

  2. Structure of this Presentation • Overview of GEF-4 Replenishment • Council Approved GEF Reforms • GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management • GEF-4 SFM Portfolio • Conclusions

  3. I. Overview of GEF-4 Replenishment

  4. GEF-4 Replenishment (2006-2010) • Total Replenishment Amount:US$3.32billion: • Resource Allocation Framework for focal areas Biodiversity and Climate Change • Programming document with focal area strategies

  5. II. Council Approved GEF Reforms

  6. Council Approved GEF Reforms • Results-based Management Framework • DAC Principles • Impact, outcomes, outputs • Indicators and tracking tools  Development of indicator systems and tracking tools • Focal Area Strategies and Strategic Programming for GEF-4 • Revision process to sharpen focus (4 months) • 5 Technical Advisory Groups; 1 Strategic Advisory Group • Sustainable Forest Management: cross-cutting strategy striving for multiple global environmental benefits and people’s livelihoods

  7. III. GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management

  8. GEF’s Approach to Sustainable Forest Management The GEF Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management is fully aligned with the objectives of the focal areas Biodiversity, Land Degradation and Climate Change (Mitigation and Adaptation). The objective of the GEF Sustainable Forest Management Program is to support country efforts to sustainabely manage forest ecosystems for global environmental benefits in the context of national sustainable development goals.

  9. GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest - Management Global 200 Forest Regions (World Resources Institute - PAGE, 2000)

  10. Managing Forest Ecosystems for Multiple Benefits Climate Change (Carbon) Biodiversity Water Peoples’ Livelihoods

  11. GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management Strategic Objectives • To conserve globally significant forest biodiversity, combat deforestation and forest degradation and mitigate the causes and impacts of climate change related to land use and cover changes • To promote sustainable management and use of forest resources …for sustaining people’s livelihoods from forest ecosystem goods and services.

  12. GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management • Protected Area Systems • Production Forests • Supporting Sustainable Forest Management in the wider Production Landscape • Enabeling Environment • Fostering Markets • Invasive Alien Species Main Focus

  13. Cross-Cutting Programs GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management • Management of LULUCF as a means to protect carbon stocks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (REDD agenda) • Sustainability criteria for sustainable biomass production

  14. IV. GEF-4 Portfolio on Sustainable Forest Management

  15. GEF-4 Strategy for Sustainable Forest Management • Launched in November 2007 • As of September 2008, 15 approved proposals • SFM – multiple benefits in GEF focal areas: Biodiversity, Climate Change and Land Degradation • 8 MFA proposals • 7 single FA proposals • All proposals with local/national benefits

  16. GEF-4 - SFM Portfolio

  17. GEF-4 - SFM Portfolio

  18. GEF-4 - SFM Portfolio

  19. GEF-4 SFM Portfolio - Highlights • Carbon Benefits Proposal: “Carbon Modeling, Measurement and Monitoring” • Carbon Modeling • UNEP with • - Colorado State University • - Wageningen University • ISRIC • Carbon Measurement, Monitoring and Management • World Bank with • World Wildlife Fund for • Nature • Michigan State University • International Center for • Research on Agro-forestry • inclusive range of climates, soil types and land use systems. • Programs: Congo Basin, Vietnam • Individual Projects (Indonesia, Brazil, Chaco)

  20. GEF-4 - Lessons Learned so Far • Increasing interest in SFM projects; • Need for an integrated approach to SFM – balancing new push through REDD with the wider SFM agenda; • Need for more projects addressing the threats to forest ecosystems, e.g. agriculture and climate change using a wider landscape management approach;

  21. GEF-4 - Lessons Learned so Far • Need for clarification on how GEF carbon benefits in SFM projects can enter the market-based/market-linked systems; • Need for harmonization of new and existing financing mechansims and funds addressing global envrionmental concerns (e.g. World Bank FIF, incl FCPF; UN-REDD)
