  12. Component & Budget • Major Component • Policy Support • Capacity Building • Awareness / Advocacy • Research / Development • Livelihood Improvement • Networking Budget(2014-2020): 960 million USD <tentative estimation>

  13. JICA’s Cooperation forREDD+Initiative

  14. 1. Policy & institutional reform + capacity development • 2. Measurement of forest resources (RELs/MRV) • Satellite image analysis & ground truth • 3. Research • Carbon dynamics • 4. Demonstration activities on sites • Zoning & demarcation, participatory forest- and land management, patrol, livelihood improvement, etc. Categories of REDD+ Projects

  15. Important primarily for addressing Climate Change, but maximizing multiple benefits through REDD+ is no less important than ClimateChange. Water supply Ecotourism Biodiversity conservation Livelihood improvement Erosion control Key principle for addressing REDD+

  16. Addressing underlying causes and drivers of deforestation & forest degradation, such as forest fires, inappropriate land-use patterns and unsustainable forest management. Land use planning (Timor-Leste) SMF, e.g. combat IL (Brazil) Forest fire control (Indonesia) Poverty alleviation (Laos) Major areas of cooperation(1)

  17. Major areas of cooperation(2) • Establishing robust and transparent MRV system. ALOS/PALSAR for forest monitoring (Indonesia) Training on Forest Monitoring (incl. South-South Cooperation) (Asia, Latin America, Africa) Facility & Equipment(Forest information management center) (Laos) 17

  18. Major areas of cooperation(3) • Enhancing research & development capacity Carbon Dynamics of Amazonian Forests (Brazil) Wild fire & Carbon management in Peat-forests (Indonesia) Forest Carbon Inventory canopy gap Biomass Allometry For Major Eco-regions Upscale Carbon Dynamics from Plot to Regional-scale C Dynamics along Gradients of Topography & Disturbance Carbon Mapping of AmazonianForest

  19. Issues and Challenges • More coordination with donors and international organisation necessary for co-financing and avoiding duplication • More coordination with several government departments related to REDD+ in a country • Introducing advanced technology such as remote sensing and GIS database for forest monitoring (MRV) and setting RELs • More responsibilities for us to involve community for appropriate manner as well as for community to conserve forest • Securing Fund for REDD+ Implementation, particularly up-front resources [PotentialofFinancialResource] -Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM; Japanese Government) -GlobalClimateFund(GCF;UN) -Forest CarbonPartnershipFacility(FCPF;World Bank)

  20. WhatisJoint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)? • Japanese government is promoting the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) as a potential mitigation measure. •The JCM facilitates diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, and infrastructure as well as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributes to sustainable development of developing countries. (Quoted from Website of Ministry of Environment of Japan) •12 countries which have signed bilateral documents for the JCM: Mongolia,Bangladesh,Ethiopia,Kenya,Maldives,Vietnam,Laos,Indonesia, Costa Rica,Palau,Cambodia and Mexico(as of March 2015) * REDD+iscurrentlydemonstrationstage.Meanwhile, theGuidelines for Developing Proposed Methodology for REDD+willbefinalizedsoon.
