  1. AN OVERVIEW TIGRAY REGION REDD+ READINESS AND PILOTING ACTIVITIES (RCU) REDD+ ZONAL STAKEHOLDERS AWARENESS CREATION WORKSHOP Sep 3-4 2015 MEKELLE

  2. Introduction • Deforestation and forest degradation account for one third of the total emissions today • how ever, the forestry sector also offers huge abetment potential through for sequestration • Which is underlined by the fact that already today Ethiopia has one of the largest forestation and reforestation programes in the world.

  3. Introduction • REDD+ offers opportunity to implement forestry abatement levers and monetise the respective abatement potential in a structured way • Ethiopia has already prepared a readiness preparation proposal (that lays out its plan to prepare for REDD+ implementation this R-PP has been accepted and we are now ready for its REDD+ preparation

  4. Introduction • The preparation phase will include the setup of organisational structure ,the definition of of a REDD+ strategy as well as the preparation for implementation of concrete mitigation actions within REDD+.

  5. Why Regional REDD+ Pilots? REDD+ Pilots: → Meant to generate lessons (in the Ethiopian context) Engaging local level stakeholders Benefit sharing mechanisms Testing strategic options → Generating ‘best practice’ benchmarks. “ can serve as a reality check for national policies“ → lessons feed into the REDD+ Strategy

  6. Why Regional REDD+ Pilots? →Strengthened local user rights and sustainable forest management PFM initiatives → Reduce pressure off the forest resources Better Mgt of plantations Intensified Agroforestry → Pilots will be assessed at the end of R-PP implementation on the basis of Effectiveness (Carbon), Efficiency (economic) and social benefits. → The better-performing strategies will be identified for scaling-up.

  7. Regional REDD+ Preparatory Pilots

  8. Pilot Preparatory Activities Eligible activities Technical studies/Assessments Community support Capacity Building/Training/exposure visits Awareness creation PFM Activities Preparation of business plan models/Guidelines/manuals
