– State owned – Local communities have free access – Land use rights granted to users

  • Forest and wildlife:
  • Biofuels

– No‐replacement of forests – EU sustainability criteria

  • Agriculture

Forest and wildlife:

– State owned forests – Local communities have free access – Co‐management schemes F i

Agriculture

– Green Revolution: Intensification of agriculture – increase productivity – Reforestation: expansion of industrial forest plantations – Forest concessions – Conservation areas – Open access (unclassified)

  • Environment

industrial forest plantations

  • Mining

– Environmental Impact Assessment – Rehabilitation of Degraded Land

Environment

– EIA for land based investments – Rehabilitation measures imposed

  • Energy

  • 4. Opportunities
  • Existing policy framework is supportive for

REDD+ ‐ “just” needs implementation

  • Experience with Benefit‐Sharing (20% revenue

distribution mechanism + Voluntary Carbon d / b ) trade/carbon PES projects)

  • South‐South Cooperation with FAS‐Brazil
  • Some financial support (Norway and Japan,

potentially FCPF) p y )

buffer zones P hi i h h i W dl

  • Partnership with the private sector: Woodlots
  • Agroforestry systems

Financial mechanisms and benefit sharing Financial mechanisms and benefit sharing

  • Challenges

Challenges – Carbon rights vs land/forest rights – State owned land and forests State owned land and forests – DUAT can be revoked – Poor implementation of policies/laws p p / – No clear land use plans and territorial zoning – Money reaching the ground – Information on the cost of REDD+ (Opportunity Cost, Transaction Cost, etc.) – Capacity for fund raising for REDD+
