REDD+

  • REDD+ （REDD-plus）

– Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in Developing countries

  • REDD: Activities for reducing emissions from

deforestation and forest degradation

  • +: Activities for maintaining and increasing forest

carbon stocks

Background of REDD+

  • About 20% of carbon emissions

was from deforestation and forest degradation in 1990s and 12 % was in after 2010s.

  • REDD+ gives incentives

(economic compensation) for emission reductions or removals achieved by REDD+ activities.

  • It is also effective for conserving

biodiversity and economy of local people.

Activities of REDD R&D Center

  • REDD R&D Center was

established at FFPRI in July 2010.

  • It carries out research and

development on REDD+ and provides related entities with technical supports.

  • The goal of the Center is to

contribute building a society balancing sound forests and regional development and conserving global environment through REDD+ activities.

Research and Development

  • Development of NFMS and MRV systems

– Remote sensing – Ground-based inventory and Allometory equations – in Cambodia, Malaysia, Paraguay

  • Socio-economic analysis

– Driver analysis, Safeguards – in Cambodia, Malaysia

  • Development of REDD+ Methodologies

– Development of REDD Cookbook – Development of Guidelines for JCM

What is JCM?

19

  • Japanese government is constructing The Joint Crediting

Mechanism (JCM) as an potential mitigation measure

  • Japan’s low carbon technologies, products, systems, services and

infrastructure support emission reduction and removals in host countries

  • The scheme of JCM looks like CDM, but JCM is managed by

Joint Committees under agreement between Japan and host countries

Quoted from the Web of New Mechanism Information Platform

Agreed Countries on JCM

  • 11 countries agreed on JCM

– Mongolia – Bangladesh – Ethiopia – Kenya – Maldives – Vietnam – Laos – Indonesia – Costa Rica – Palau – Cambodia

REDD+ under the JCM

  • Activities of the JCM are adopted by each Joint

Committee

  • REDD+ is expected as an activity of the JCM
  • But the methodologies of MRV for REDD+ have not

developed enough

  • REDD+ Guidelines are required now

REDD-plus Guidelines for JCM

  • “Guidelines for Implementing REDD-plus”
  • Developed by FFPRI voluntarily
  • It is expected to contribute to the formal

guidelines which will be developed by the Joint committees.

  • Contents

– Chap 1: Introduction

  • Background
  • Discussion on REDD-plus in Japan
  • Purpose of the guideline

– Chap 2: Requirements to projects

  • Essential requirements
  • Requirements to elements of projects

– Chap 3: Requirements to methodologies

  • Basic requirements
  • Requirements to elements of methodologies

Key Points

  • Required accuracy of forest map classification

– International standards indicate “suitable accuracy” for estimation of GHG emission reduction and removals – Experiences and practices from projects and studies show feasible accuracy of forest map classification – The accuracy of classification of Forest/non-forest should be above 80%, and the one of each forest type should be above 70%.
