  • WHAT IS REDD ?
  • Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
    Degradation
  • REDD is based on the idea of rewarding
    individuals, communities, projects and countries
    that reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions from
    forests.
  • REDD is seen as a significant, cheap, quick and
    win-win way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
    emissions.

3
  • REDD is based on the idea of reward
  • individuals,
  • communities,
  • projects and
  • countries
  • that reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions from
    forests.

4
Why REDD?
  • Has the potential to deliver large cuts in
    emissions at a low cost within a short time frame
  • Enhances biodiversity conservation
  • Enhances ecosystem management
  • Contributes to reducing poverty
  • Hence Enhance sustainable development

5
Can REDD payment alone be an incentive ?
  • Not sure
  • Consider
  • Opportunity costs
  • Ecosystem management costs
  • Monitoring and evaluation

6
How can sustainable development be achieved
through REDD initiative?
  • Enhancement of ecosystem management and
    biodiversity conservation
  • Effective conservation of ecosystems
  • Provision of alternative livelihoods e.g.
    beekeeping -
  • Provision of alternative sources of fuel wood
    through establishment of woodlots

7
How can it be achieved?
  • Contribution to reducing poverty
  • Supporting rural development activities with
    funding from REDD Fund
  • Promotion of environmentally friendly livelihood
    activities like beekeeping
  • Through incomes from carbon market

8
Which forests would be appropriate for REDD?
  • Catchment forests
  • Forests high in biodiversity resources
  • Forests in fragile landscapes

  • Issues for Consideration during REDD
    Implementation

11
Who Qualifies for Rewards
  • Who owns forests at different levels?
  • Who deserves payments at the national,
    sub-national, community and household levels?
  • How do we deal with legal and illegal
    deforestation? E.g. deforestation for
    livelihoods?
  • How do we graduate rewarding packages at the
    individual levels on the basis of compliance?

12
Who Qualifies for Rewards
  • Are forests in the public land also public?
  • Do villagers know which forests belong to their
    village?
  • Do individual households in the villages own
    forests ?
  • How do we reverse the REDD philosophy so as to
    reward stewardship at the community level ?

13
What is the Appropriate Timing for the Reward
  • When will an individual begin to be paid?
  • If it is as per the present REDD concept, what
    happens to individuals during the realization
    phase?
  • Should we use holistic approach with combined
    adaptation and mitigation by emphasizing on
    ecosystem services?
  • In this regard then should we see benefits to be
    cumulative and gradual, payment for REDD being
    one of the medium and long-term ecosystem
    benefits?

14
Rewarding Approach
  • What will be the rewarding arrangement?
  • Should the out-grower approach be applied?
  • What will be the basis for payment under such
    arrangement?
  • Alternatively, are the rewarding package under
    PFM adequate for REDD?
  • Can we improvise PFM packages to suit REDD
    rewarding scheme?

15
Rewarding Approach
  • Should we consider rewarding arrangements through
    improvement of landscape management with the aim
    of promoting land productivity?
  • But then how does one discriminate those
    individuals that have not complied?
  • How does one reward individuals on the basis of
    compliance?

16
Social Issues
  • How do we control land grabbing and
    marginalization of the poor anticipating
    commercialization of trees through REDD?
  • How do we discourage shifting cultivation and
    enhance productivity per unit area?
  • How do we reduce dependence on fuel wood and
    charcoal as major sources of energy?
  • What are the implications to gender relations of
    transforming trees as a cash crop to the
    household livelihoods

17
How Are We Addressing these Issues
18
Stakeholders Consultations
  • Zonal Stakeholders consultation are underway in
    eight zones
  • Two have been conducted
  • Issues covered during consultations are
  • Lessons learned from PFM and WMA
  • Incentive schemes
  • Benefit sharing mechanisms
  • Participatory monitoring
  • Drivers of deforestation
  • Governance and tenure

19
Next Steps
  • National Stakeholders workshop
  • Results from zonal stakeholders consultations
  • In-depth studies reports
  • Expert groups meetings to review thematic areas
  • Drafting of National REDD Strategy
  • Sharing draft with stakeholders for further
    improvement
