This document provides an agenda and background information for The Forests Dialogue's scoping dialogue on REDD+ benefit sharing taking place on March 23-24, 2013 in Washington, DC. The dialogue will discuss key issues in designing and implementing REDD+ benefit sharing mechanisms through stakeholder presentations and group discussions. The Forests Dialogue is an international platform that addresses strategic forest and climate change issues through multi-stakeholder dialogues to build understanding and commitment to change. This dialogue aims to develop a shared understanding of REDD+ benefit sharing challenges and opportunities and identify practical tools to support equitable and efficient benefit distribution.

TFD Initiatives Priority SFMIssues • REDD+ Benefit Sharing • Food, Fuel, Fiber and Forests • Genetically Modified Trees • Free, Prior, and Informed Consent • Investing in Locally Controlled Forestry • Forests & Poverty Reduction and Rural Livelihoods • Intensively Managed Planted Forests • Illegal Logging and Forest Governance • Forests and Biodiversity Conservation • Forest Certification
- 9. Purpose of TFDs“Scoping” • Small group of invited participants are asked to share their experience and “weigh-in” on TFDs ability to positively address challenges • Intended to be an initial foray into a challenging, forest related issue • Listen, learn and share broad range of knowledge and experience • Not driving toward solutions…yet. Focus on key questions and opportunities for progress
- 10. TFD’s Process TFD Operatesunder the Chatham House Rule “Participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed". Ground Rules • Use mobiles and computers during breaks • No video • Pictures OK • Use Name Tents
- 11. TFD’s Process Spirit ofParticipation • Active listening • Constructive, solution oriented interventions • Participate as individual • Help define and own the outcomes • Facilitation “light”

- 14. Key Findings Strategic Needs: •Alignment of REDD+ perspectives • Alignment with land-use strategies • Enhanced phased approach Key Issues: • Access to, use and availability of information and its use in capacity- building • Effectiveness of multi-stakeholder participation and engagement mechanisms and processes • Reform of policy and legislative frameworks, particularly those on tree and carbon rights • Integration of REDD-plus policies with broader land-use plans and other sector and development plans • Establishment of a revenue and benefits distribution system
- 15. Objectives of thisDialogue • Develop and understand the current state of REDD+ Benefit Sharing in several countries to identify the challenges of designing and implementing those mechanisms more broadly; • Build a community of practice among locally-rooted, well connected REDD practitioners to share experiences and to develop practical tools that support effective, efficient and equitable benefit sharing for REDD+; • Promote appropriate economic, policy and institutional arrangements at local, national and international levels to facilitate equitable and efficient delivery of REDD+ Benefit Sharing mechanisms.

Editor's Notes
- #14 What is “REDD”? (2005) Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries; What is “plus”? (Bali Action Plan 2007…) and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks The final decision compromises on the divisive issue of market versus non-market based approaches, recognizing both approaches may be appropriate, dependent on the country’s circumstances. Market based approaches would likely mean the sale of rights to carbon stored in or sequestered by the forest, whereas non-market based approaches are more ambiguous. At the moment, non-market refers to grant-based finance for REDD+ readiness. However, it could come to include mechanisms that focus on the implementation phase, as well.The Forest Investment Program (FIP) is a targeted program of the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), which is one of two funds within the framework of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF). The FIP supports developing country efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation and promote sustainable forest management that leads to emissions reductions and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+).FACTUS$ 639 million...the amount of money that is pledged to the FIP. - Photo: Kimie Velhagen/CIF Admin UnitChanneled through the MDBs as grants and near-zero interest credits, FIP financing complements large-scale investments and leverages additional resources, including from the private sector, to:Promote forest mitigation efforts, including protection of forest ecosystem servicesProvide support outside the forest sector to reduce pressure on forestsHelp countries strengthen institutional capacity, forest governance, and forest-related knowledgeMainstream climate resilience considerations and contribute to biodiversity conservation, protection of the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, and poverty reduction through rural livelihoods enhancements
