REDD+ FOR THE GUIANA SHIELD Technical Cooperation Project

Explore the technical cooperation project around REDD+ in French Guiana, focusing on forest cover assessment, carbon context, deforestation dynamics, and modeling capacities for decision-making. Learn about key activities, research findings, and the impact on climate policies and carbon storage. Discover how initiatives like GUYAFOR, CARPAG, GUYAFLUX, SEAS, and Guyasim are shaping environmental strategies in this unique tropical forest setting.

  1. REDD+ FOR THE GUIANA SHIELDTechnical Cooperation Project Initiatives around REDD+ in French Guiana Fanny MISS, ONF 6th August 2013 1st Steering Committee, Paramaribo

  2. The forest in French Guiana • 8 Mha of forest • 2,4 Mha of permanent forest estate (developed or in progress) • 1,8Mha of intermediary forest • 1,4 Mha PAG (French Guiana Amazonian Park)-ONF • 2Mha PAG • Reserves • Forests managed by indigenous communities

  3. Research in French Guiana • Good implantation • Know forest resources to manage them • Continuous improvement of forest management • Why carbon? • Climate policy obligations: Kyoto commitment- inventories 2008-2012-… • Humid tropical forests = green lung of the planet • Only European tropical forest Context

  4. Carbon context of French Guiana • Kyoto • Deforestation in French Guiana • France = Annex 1 country • 3.3 land use change • 3.4 forest management • REDD+ in French Guiana • REDD+ mechanism : unclear • “REDD+ Inspired” or voluntary carbon market: to develop • Pass from a “flux” logic to a “stock” logic: to investigate • Regulatory framework to value sustainable forest management • For ONF: integrate the carbon issue in forest management • Sharing progress on REDD+ strategies

  5. Activity 1: Assessment of forest cover and stocks • GUYAFOR (2000) CIRAD + ONF : Estimation of above ground forest biomass, network of plots • CARPAG (2009) CIRAD : Carbon from the pastures of French Guyana and greenhouse gas emissionsEvaluation of CO2 fluxes in grasslands

  6. Activity 1: Assessment of forest cover and stocks GUYAFLUX • Context: • Project started in 2003, INRA • FTH: carbon sequestration dynamics • Objective • Measurement of forest-atmosphere gas exchanges • Tower of 55m height • Results: • Zero carbon storage or low stock • Continue the analysis: relations between compartments, stock/flux and factors of influence

  7. Activity 2: Improve the deforestation/degradation dynamic understanding SEAS:Satellite based monitoring of the Amazonian biome • Context: • Platform for the direct acquisition and processing of SPOT and ENVISAT data • IRD (and other partners, including French Guiana Region, CNES), 2006-2011 • Objectives: satellite data • Results: • Kyoto project • Identification and quantification of drivers of deforestation • Statistics to comply with the Kyoto Protocol • Data use

  8. Activity 2: Improve the deforestation/degradation dynamic understanding SEAS • To come: • Cessation of satellites SPOT 1 to 4 and ANVISAT • Reception of SPOT 5 (end of life at the end of 2014) • SPOT 6 and Pléiades images being tested • Covering for Antilles-French Guiana • Acquiring of additional images on demand and depending on additional funding

  9. Guyasim: Simulator to explore the environmental impact of different development scenarios in French Guiana • Context • Strong socio-economic development = plan adequate and sustainable infrastructure • Find a compromise between territorial development and forest preservation • Objective: «French Guiana simulator» allowing the quantification and mapping of the likely evolution of indicators of environmental services • Results • Decision making tool to support land use planning • Quantify the services provided by the ecosystems • REDD component : reference scenarios/ alternative scenarios Activity 3: Improve modeling capacities to help decision-making process

  10. Guyasim: example of a development scenario

  11. Guyasim: example of a development scenario

  12. Guyasim: example of a development scenario Quantify and identify reduction or compensation modalities
