Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) requires better monitoring, measurement and verification (MRV) to assess carbon and non-CO2 greenhouse gases. With REDD likely to evolve into a whole landscape accounting approach which includes Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU), reliable and cost efficient MRV across complex landscapes is becoming increasingly important.
Experts from the World Agroforestry Centre present four case studies that showcase work on measuring carbon in complex landscapes and agro- ecosystems with trees: Western Kenya; the Peruvian Amazon; the peatlands of West Kalimantan, Indonesia and the Africa Soil Information Service project. There are also insights about choosing the right tools and methods for different contexts, ensuring measurements are accurate, statistically relevant, and can be scaled up.

2. The Amazon has the largest hydrographic basin in
the world, with 7 million km², including Brazil and
neighbor countries. About 3,8 million Km² are in
Brazil.
The humidity generated at the Amazon is
perceived not only in the Amazon but also at south
of Brazil and Argentina. It also reflects the
weather in the United States (Florida) and Europe
(Spain). This phenomenon is called “flying rivers”.
General Details of the Brazilian Amazon
Area 5,217,423 Km2
Percentage 61% in Brazil
Municipalities 807
Percentage 15% of all Brazilian municipalities
Total inhabitants 21,056,532 people

10. Major Political Initiatives: National and Subnational
2003: Plan for the Prevention of Deforestation and Conservation of the Amazon (PPCDAm)
2007: Federal Government announces the Amazon Fund. It was established in 2008;
2008: Establishment of the GCF Task Force. Strong articulation with the Brazilian states;
2009: Brazilian Government starts to look into REDD;
National Climate Change Law was approved (Law 12.187) and regulamented by decree
7.390/2010.
Target of 36.1% to 38.9% of the country’s projected emissions by 2020 = reduction of 1.2
G Ton CO2 by 2020, with baseline of 2005.
Establishment of 12 policy instruments. Among them: PPCDAm and ABC Plan.
2010:
• Government of Acre: Implementation of SISA (Environmental Services System) and the
establishment of a MOU with California (USA) and Chiapas (MX);
2011 / 2012:
• Forest Code still a question mark..
• Other subnational governments: Amazonas and Mato Grosso did public consultations for
the implementation of a local REDD Policy and an environmental services legislation;
• Brazilian National REDD Policy: still inexistent.. Currently under analysis at Senate and at the
House of Representatives. Ministry of Environment intends to
consolidate the efforts no final decision yet..

16. The Role of the Brazilian Subnational Governments
• ACRE: was the first Brazilian state to implement a state-wide legislation - SISA (Law
2.308/10) for the reduction of the carbon emissions caused by deforestation. Acre
signed a MOU with California and Chiapas for a closer cooperation;
• AMAPÁ: is currently in the process of elaborating a climate change policy;
• AMAZONAS: was the first mover. Implemented a climate change legislation (law
2.308/07), a pioneer agency (FAS) and project (Juma). Currently, the State is
working on the implementation of the Environmental Services Legislation;
• MATO GROSSO: is in the process of approving a state-wide REDD+ legislation and a
climate change policy
• PARÁ: the discussion on the implementing a state-wide policy on climate change is
inactive since 2009. There were recently changes at the Secretariat of
Environment, the perspective is to restart the discussions
• TOCANTINS: is in the process of reviewing its climate change policy
17. PARÁ: PPCD approved in 2009. AMAPÁ: PPCD approved in 2010.

19. REDD+
What is REDD+?
“Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest
degradation in Developing countries.”
• Basic concept: Compensate countries / subnational governments that
are able to reduce CO2 emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation
What can REDD+ generate?
• Voluntary contributions to reduce global CO2 emmissions
• Change to the economic model
• Historic justice to the population that have been living at the
forests, preserving it
• Reduce poverty
• Preserve the forest
20. Critical Aspects
Inexistance of a legal framework or norms. Such aspect
brings incertenty, expectations and vulnerability to all
involved entities: local communities, indigenous
groups, private sector, etc.
Proliferation of REDD+ projects with different
methodologies and baselines: as consequence we have a
higher level of dificulty to mesure the real impact of
allprojects and to integrate to a national system. This is the
“chickenpox” approach, which should be avoided.
21. The Challenges of Integrating National and
Subnational Policies
1. Harmonization of the compromises assumed for the reduction of the
deforestation at the subnational and national levels
2. “Nested Approach,” including the integration of voluntary initiatives to the
national strategy
3. Efficient end effective mobilization of financial resources, such as the Amazon
Fund
4. Establishment of a carbon market, integrating REDD to agriculture products /
commodities
5. Alignment of public policies: agriculture / environment / mining / infrastructure
22. REDD+ Strategy for the Amazon Region
“Nested approach”: Subnational programs
that are connected to a national policy:
Centralized legislation
Socio-environmental safeguards
monitoring reporting and verification
(MRV)
Distribution of benefits: local population /
land owners / indigenous groups, etc.
