This document summarizes a presentation on who will bear the costs of REDD+ based on evidence from subnational REDD+ initiatives. It finds that:
1) Smallholders and informal forest users are likely to bear significant opportunity costs, but their costs may not be recognized or compensated as they have minor roles without formal rights.
2) Many REDD+ country institutions, especially subnational governments, are already subsidizing REDD+ implementation costs in an effort to build readiness, generate non-carbon benefits, or meet climate commitments, but this support could "crowd out" non-state investment over time.
3) Understanding who bears the greatest costs requires considering multiple perspectives, as views on who bears

1. Globalized trade and international processes like the SDGs are driving changes in timber value chains towards sustainability and a green economy.
2. Buyer preferences and requirements, especially from developed countries, are an important influence through demands for legality and certification.
3. Meeting these demands requires inclusion of small and medium enterprises through support for processes like legality verification and certification.
4. Multi-stakeholder initiatives involving government support, bottom-up participation, and consideration of impacts on vulnerable groups like women can help improve sustainability and livelihoods in the furniture industry.

This document summarizes a global comparative study on securing tenure rights for forest-dependent communities. It finds that between 2002 and 2013, there was an increase of at least 128.5 million hectares of land designated or owned by indigenous and local communities. However, growth has slowed since 2008, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. The study aims to understand how forest tenure reforms emerge and are implemented on the ground, identify their impacts, and factors constraining implementation. It will do this through research, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge sharing to enhance tenure security and sustainable forest management. The main focus countries are Uganda, Indonesia and Peru, with comparisons to DRC, Nepal and Ecuador.

This document summarizes a project investigating sustainable bioenergy production on degraded land in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The project aims to identify potential for sustainable biomass on degraded land, restore degraded areas, and support rural livelihoods. It involves reviewing land availability and species suitability, establishing research trials of key species on degraded peatland, analyzing fuel productivity and business models, and engaging stakeholders. Preliminary results identified 19 tree species suitable for degraded terrestrial soils and 13 pioneer species for peat soils. The project provides opportunities to restore land while producing sustainable bioenergy and supporting rural communities, but further work is needed to fully understand environmental trade-offs, governance, and markets.
The document summarizes Indonesia's 2013 Agricultural Census which covered forestry. It discusses the census' coverage, methodology, commodities covered, challenges, and suggestions. Specifically, it covered holdings with wooded areas but did not cover land use classification, areas over 0.5 ha, woodland area/purpose, or agroforestry. Challenges included samples not fully reflecting costs and difficulty collecting tree age data. Suggestions were to add questions to better estimate costs, including by tree age.

This document summarizes a study analyzing the economic viability of community-based forest management (CBFM) plans in the Brazilian Amazon. It finds that while CBFM has large potential areas, currently only a small number of families and area are involved in CBFM. Case studies of 4 CBFM plans show they face challenges generating sufficient income from timber to be economically viable long-term due to high costs, lack of skills, and competition from illegal logging. For economic viability, policies need to invest in infrastructure, markets for CBFM timber, and diversifying income beyond timber.
The document discusses the rise of the socially connected consumer and how it impacts business. It notes that the millennial generation, or Generation Me, make up 1/4 of the US population and tend to remain loyal to companies that provide positive experiences. Nearly half will share positive encounters online but also nearly 40% will share negative ones. It emphasizes that consumers now expect immediate access to information and closure. Brands must understand what motivates these connected consumers to click, act and share in order to remain relevant and part of their decision making process.

This document discusses bioenergy policy and practices in Indonesia. It notes that Indonesia has set a renewable energy target for transport and that sustainable forest management can increase biomass availability from forestry. The document recommends policy options like promoting multi-functional land use to provide food, biomass, and other products; better utilizing agricultural and forestry residues; using degraded land for biomass production to restore soil; and evolving to integrated production systems that efficiently use resources and reward sustainability.
Smallholder and community forest management in the tropics: what we know and ...CIFOR-ICRAF
Communities now own or manage a quarter of the world’s tropical forests, but the case studies in this presentation illustrate the many key challenges remaining for smallholder and community forest management in the tropics. For example, the customary rights of smallholders and communities are still not properly recognised; there are discrepancies between the law and the reality in forest management and use; and there are difficulties in linking communities to markets.
CIFOR scientist Amy Duchelle explains how the smallholder and community forest management model came about, and where we need to go next. She gave this presentation on 16 June 2012 as part of the Forest Stewardship Council’s side event at Rio+20. She was answering the topic “Focussing on smallholders and forest communities: achievements and challenges at the local level”.
A Future for Social Forestry in the Indonesia and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)CIFOR-ICRAF
This document discusses the potential for social forestry in Indonesia and ASEAN. It notes that past forest management policies have failed to guarantee community access and led to degradation, but that social forestry provides communities long-term forest access and improves livelihoods. It outlines social forestry targets and activities in Indonesia, including enterprise development and partnerships around bamboo, silk, agarwood, and rattan. Research, investment, and multistakeholder engagement are needed to ensure sustainable social forestry and value chains that can contribute to ASEAN economic integration goals.

The moral and legal case for the fossil fuel industry paying for the damage that its products are causing via a fossil fuel extraction levy into the international loss and damage mechanism.
The document summarizes the evolution of the concept of loss and damage from climate change impacts. It discusses key outcomes from COP13, COP16, COP18, and COP19 that established and advanced the concept. COP13 recognized the need to address loss and damage in developing countries. COP16 established a work program and invited parties to submit views. COP18 agreed on approaches to address loss and damage. COP19 established the Warsaw International Mechanism to facilitate support and improve coordination related to loss and damage. The Mechanism addresses areas like vulnerable groups, risk management, slow onset events, and more.

This document discusses opportunities and challenges for developing REDD+ benefit sharing mechanisms in developing countries. It identifies key issues such as governance arrangements, rights and tenure, monitoring and verification methods, stakeholder involvement, and measuring co-benefits. Designing equitable benefit sharing that incentivizes emissions reductions while recognizing local rights and costs will require balancing efficiency and equity considerations. The REDD+ Benefits Sharing project aims to provide guidance to improve benefit sharing mechanism design, development, and implementation.
in this pitch, delivered at 2013 Henken Innovation Challenge, I focus on the need for a recalibration of business as usual, the catalysts for a shift away from Business As Usual, and examples of firm and frameworks making the shift.

Innovations in soil health monitoring for nature and people
From Research to Resilience
WLE webinar series
October 28, 2021
The document describes the development of an open data model for precision agriculture applications and agricultural pollution monitoring. It aims to identify user requirements from agricultural and environmental domains. The presented open data model was registered under the GEOSS program to support demands in agriculture and water pollution monitoring. The model extends existing INSPIRE and agricultural facility models by adding a "Plot" feature to represent a continuous area with the same crop, user, farming method, or environmental features in order to enable environmental monitoring at a more detailed level.
The Foodie platform hub aims at enabling in an easy manner the (re)use of open data in the agricultural domain in order to create new applications that provide added value to different stakeholder groups.
The document summarizes NEMA's efforts to improve environmental data sharing in Uganda. It discusses NEMA's mandate, core values and vision. It outlines the development of key resources including a compendium of environmental statistics, a national action plan for environmental statistics, and a national environmental statistical metadata dictionary. It describes some of NEMA's open data platforms and portals for sharing maps, biodiversity, and environmental impact assessment information. Going forward, it recommends increasing dissemination of reports, developing integrated data systems, strengthening partnerships for data collection and sharing, and creating more awareness of available environmental data.
Slide presentations developed to demonstrate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) be used to address climate change, and why ICTs are a crucial part of the solution – i.e. in promoting efficiency, Green Growth & sustainable development, in dealing with climate change and for climate and environmental action. These slide presentations were delivered in February 2011 in Seongnam, near Seoul in Korea.
These presentations were developed and delivered over 2.5 days on the occasion of a Regional Training of Trainers Workshop for upcoming Academy modules on ICT for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Abatement. These modules were developed as part of the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government leaders developed by the United Nations (UN) Asia Pacific Centre for ICT Training (APCICT), based in Songdo City, in the Republic of South Korea.
These presentations were developed in 2011, and are somewhat out of date, but most of the principles still apply. Module 10, which has been published, does not include much of the information outlined in these presentations, which are fairly technical. They were developed to address a significant gap in understanding of the technical basis of using ICTs for climate action and because there is a clear bias in development circles against the importance of dealing with climate change mitigation in developing countries. These presentations are an attempt to redress this lack and are published here with this purpose in mind.
The author, Richard Labelle, is presently working on updating these presentations to further highlight the importance of addressing climate change and the important role that technology including ICTs, play in this effort.
System for Land-Based Emissions Estimation in Kenyaipcc-media
SLEEK is Kenya's system for estimating land-based GHG emissions. It includes the Full Land Integration Tool (FLINT) engine and reporting tools to integrate local data with scientific models and IPCC guidelines. SLEEK is led by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and involves over 15 government agencies and institutions organized into working groups. Kenya developed its own tier 3 FLINT model with international expert support to build national capacity and address uncertainties in previous land sector emissions calculations. Model outputs are verified through comparison with manual calculations and by confirming net flux balances.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

20. Post-Paris and land use sector
• Forests strong in Paris agreement (Art. 5)
• Efforts should not harm food production (Art.2)
• Land use sector is unique in its large negative
emissions potential (forest sinks)
• Bottom-up process
• Monitoring issues:
• Regular stock-taking by countries
• Transparency
• Implementation of climate smart land use
activities
21. There is a need for monitoring approaches
(i.e. unbiased data, tools and methods) that
stakeholders involved in land-use sector
mitigation activities can rely on for their own
goals, but which would also be perceived as
transparent and legitimate by others and
support accountability of all stakeholders in
the framework of the Paris Agreement.
22. Independent transparent monitoring
not a specific tool, a single system or a one-serves-all
approach
diversity of approaches and initiatives:
● increase transparency
● broaden stakeholder participation
● Increase confidence
free and open methods, data, and tools - complementary to
mandated reporting by national governments.
