    Deforestation:

expansion
    Forest

• Underlying/indirect

processes
‐
often

Assessment
of
current
drivers:
 Country REDD+ readiness activities – first inventory
  of what countries identify as relevant and important
  drivers
 Methods: R-PIN, R-PP, a study on proximate drivers
  of deforestation of 25 tropical countries (Mathews et
  al., 2010), CIFOR country profiles and the UNFCCC
  national communications
 nominal, ordinal or ratio-scale data for 46
  non-Annex I countries (78% of total forest
  area in 2010)

to

follow‐up
land
use
(remote
sensing
analysis)
• Spatial
context

location,
and

help
in
  interpretation
• Local
and
regional
knowledge
(experts
and

ground
observations
• GHG
emissions
from
drivers:
commonly
not
  available
on

• Some
activities

also
result
in

assessing
underlying
drivers

• Link
between
deforestation
patterns
and
  underlying
causes
important

developing
  RL/RELs

but
often
difficult
• Statistical

demographic
indicators,
analysis

policy
  and
governance
issues
(global,
national)
• Required
national

often
not

REDD+
compensation,
opportunity
costs
and
good
governance:
• Distinguish
between

activity
and
status
of
land
use
   rights.
• How

compete?:
NPV

–

$994
   per

(Pacheco
et

Fisher

Solutions:
• Strengthen
laws
and
regulations,
fiscal
mechanisms
(e.g.
taxes
and
   subsidies),
and
public
investments
(e.g.
tenure
reform,
benefit‐

rather
than
opportunity
costs
   to
affect
rates

drivers
of

(Gregersen

• Should
be
national
in

avoids

Conclusions
and
recommendations:
National
levels
•   Look
beyond
the
forest
sector
to
design
and
frame
interventions
to
    address
drivers—assess
sector
policies
(in
agriculture,
mining,
    infrastructure,
energy,
and
forestry)
that
conflict
with
REDD+
objectives,
    and
develop
comprehensive
plans
to
meet
sustainable
development
    objectives,
enabled
with
cross‐sectoral
commitments
and
    political/institutional
support.
     – Low
carbon
development
plans/national
climate
change
action
plans
     – REDD+
incentives
alone
not
enough—need
effective
land
use
planning,
policies
and
       incentives
     – Incentives,
disincentives
and
enabling
measures
need
to
reach
key
actors
and
at
right
       scale
     – Demand‐
and
supply‐side
initiatives
(e.g.
commodity
roundtables)
not
prominent
       enough
in
readiness
plans.
Align
with
REDD+.
     – Livelihoods
of
local
communities
may
depend
on
current
drivers
of
deforestation
and
       forest
degradation:
intervention
strategies
must
consider
impacts
(ex
poste
and
ex
ante
       and
adhere
to
safeguards.
•   Foundational
activities
for
success
in
addressing
drivers:
improve
    governance,
transparency,
capacity
and
enforcement,
combat
illegal
    activities
and
provide
secure
tenure

Conclusions
and
recommendations:
International
levels
•   Countries
focused
on
national
and
local
level
drivers,
but
face
international
    drivers
that
are
expected
to
increase
in
pressure.
•   Engage
finance
as
a
tool
to
change
driver
activity:
e.g.
codes
of
conduct
or
    sustainability
guidelines
for
providing
international
finance,
such
as
Equator
    Principles,
International
Finance
Corporation
Performance
Standards,
etc.
•   Promote
government‐facilitated
commitments
on
sustainable
    commodities,
public‐private
partnerships
(can
influence
indirect
land
use
    change
and
foreign
direct
investment).
•   International
information
sharing:
cross‐border
trade,
domestic
and
trans‐
    boundary
drivers,
best
practices
and
lessons
learned,
periodic
global
    assessments.
•   Recognize
linkages
between
REDD+
and
emerging
agricultural
mitigation
    and
adaptation—orchestrated
and
complementary
funding
streams
to
    countries
(link
and
integrate
REDD+
activities
and
NAMAs,
particularly
    agriculture).

to
compete?:
NPV

yield
US
$614
–

$994 per

(Pacheco

laws

regulations,
fiscal
mechanisms
(e.g.
taxes
and subsidies),
and
public
investments
(e.g.
tenure
reform,
benefit‐ sharing,
rehabilitating

rather
than
opportunity
costs to
affect

(Gregersen

controls,
laws,
bilateral
agreements
and
trade
accords:
e.g.
EU Voluntary

Agreements
on
FLEGT
and
the
US
Lacey
Act. • Commodity
roundtables,

standards
and
certification:

RSPO, RTRS,
Bonsucro,
Better
Cotton
Initiative,
RSB,
FSC
(chain‐of‐custody, national
controlled
wood
or

to promote
sustainable
supply
chains
with
Consumer

Forum. • Impact

National
levels • Most
countries
lack
data
to

in readiness

sector – Methodological

drivers: improved
data

change,

IPCC
methods – Assessment
of

2012 Conclusions
and
recommendations:
National
levels • Look
beyond
the
forest
sector
to
design
and
frame
interventions
to address
drivers—assess
sector
policies
(in
agriculture,
mining, infrastructure,
energy,
and
forestry)
that
conflict
with
REDD+
objectives, and
develop
comprehensive
plans
to
meet
sustainable
development objectives,
enabled
with
cross‐sectoral
commitments
and political/institutional
support. – Low
carbon
development
plans/national
climate
change
action
plans – REDD+
incentives
alone
not
enough—need
effective
land
use
planning,
policies
and incentives – Incentives,
disincentives
and
enabling
measures
need
to
reach
key
actors
and
at
right scale – Demand‐
and
supply‐side
initiatives
(e.g.
commodity
roundtables)
not
prominent enough
in
readiness
plans.
Align
with
REDD+. – Livelihoods
of
local
communities
may
depend
on
current
drivers
of
deforestation
and forest
degradation:
intervention
strategies
must
consider
impacts
(ex
poste
and
ex
ante and
adhere
to
safeguards. • Foundational
activities
for
success
in
addressing
drivers:
improve governance,
transparency,
capacity
and
enforcement,
combat
illegal activities
and
provide
secure
tenure

2012 Conclusions
and
recommendations:
International levels • Countries
focused
on
national
and
local
level
drivers,
but
face
international drivers
that
are
expected
to
increase
in
pressure. • Engage
finance
as
a
tool
to
change
driver
activity:
e.g.
codes
of
conduct
or sustainability
guidelines
for
providing
international
finance,
such
as
Equator Principles,
International
Finance
Corporation
Performance
Standards,
etc. • Promote
government‐facilitated
commitments
on
sustainable commodities,
public‐private
partnerships
(can
influence
indirect
land
use change
and
foreign
direct
investment). • International
information
sharing:
cross‐border
trade,
domestic
and
trans‐ boundary
drivers,
best
practices
and
lessons
learned,
periodic
global assessments. • Recognize
linkages
between
REDD+
and
emerging
agricultural
mitigation and
adaptation—orchestrated
and
complementary
funding
streams
to countries
(link
and
integrate
REDD+
activities
and
NAMAs,
particularly agriculture).
