Supplementing REDD+ with finance for multiple forest servicesCIFOR-ICRAF
Presentation by Jonah Busch, Conservation International
Financing for forest and climate change, Forest Day 3
Sunday, 13 December 2009
Copenhagen, Denmark
This presentation is a compilation of four that were given on 30 November 2011 at an official UNFCCC COP17 side-event organised by CIFOR: 'How is REDD+ unfolding on the ground?'. The event discussed early insights on the capability of REDD+ projects to deliver on their goal of sequestering forest carbon while providing a range of co-benefits. The information presented draws mainly on findings of CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on REDD+, and covers the status and challenges of REDD+ projects on the ground;
challenges encountered in establishing REDD+ in Africa;
the policy and economic context in which REDD+ projects is unfolding; and
the status of monitoring, reporting and verification in setting up REDD+.
This study was presented during the conference “Production and Carbon Dynamics in Sustainable Agricultural and Forest Systems in Africa” held in September, 2010.
Land tenure and REDD+: the good, the bad and the uglyCIFOR-ICRAF
Under what conditions does REDD+ present a threat or opportunity for local land/forest tenure rights? Based on the evidence collected to date from field studies as part of CIFOR’s Global Comparative Study on REDD+, the issue of local tenure rights is being taken seriously by key actors. But the hard work may have only just begun.
CIFOR scientist Anne Larson gave this presentation on 18 June 2012 at a panel discussion organised by CIFOR and partners at the ISEE 2012 Conference at Rio, which convened under the topic "Ecological Economics and Rio+20: Challenges and Contributions for a Green Economy". The panel was titled ‘National strategies for reducing emissions from avoided deforestation and degradation – how much transformational change is possible in current political and economic realities? Part I – An overview’. For more information, visit http://www.cifor.org/events/rio20/

REDD+ benefit sharing: discourses on who ‘should’ benefitCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation, given on 27 September 2012 in connection with CIFOR’s new REDD+ Benefit Sharing project, discusses the idea of benefit sharing and how it relates to REDD+ and various stakeholders in the REDD+ process. Some examples of benefit sharing policies and proposals in various countries are given. The presentation also gives an overview of the complexities involved in the question: who should benefit from REDD+? For more information, see Chapter 8 of Analysing REDD+: “Who should benefit and why? Discourses on REDD+ benefit sharing” (go to http://www.cifor.org/online-library/browse/view-publication/publication/3822.html).
Analysing REDD+: Challenges and choicesCIFOR-ICRAF
Analysing REDD+: Challenges and choices is the third book in a series of highly recognised REDD+ volumes from CIFOR. It was launched at CIFOR's official onsite side event during Rio+20, which discussed how transformational change is required to realise the forest sector's climate change mitigation potential through avoided deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Climate change is a key global challenge and forests are a key part of the international mitigation agenda. REDD+ offers the opportunity to transform the forest sector in a manner consistent with the vision of a green economy.
For the past four years, CIFOR and partners have been conducting a Global Comparative Study on REDD+ on policy development and the challenges of implementation. In this presentation, CIFOR scientists discuss the results of this work that are relevant to the objectives of Rio+20 and the development of a green economy.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Key policy issues for PES and REDD+
1. Training Workshop on Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) Nairobi, Kenya - August 9th, 2011 Key policy issues for PES and REDD+ Florence BernardASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins Slayde HawkinsForest Trends/Katoomba Group
2. PES may be prohibited by Constitution or law May be banning on selling ecosystem services, as a public good that is held on behalf of all If sale of ES credits prohibited, may nevertheless be legal to contract to provide services that restore, conserve, ES 1. PES Allowed by Law?
7. 2.3. Customary rights Customary tenure arrangements : complex structures based on local social conventions and traditions, vary across regions within a country and also over time. Statutory law ≠ Customary law Customary rights may provide sufficient legal certainty, depending upon the circumstances. However, a lack of formal tenure rights exposes project participants and potential buyers to higher risk of challenge or conflict. Prevailing tendency in tenure reform is to incorporate customary tenure rights in statutory law. Need for context-specific knowledge to inform national tenure reform processes. Risk that land tenure regimes may not transition fast enough but important to avoid a rushed tenure reform that could lead to badly informed reforms that deepen inequalities rather than prevent them.
8. 3. Application of existing law and responsible institutions To understand how the existing policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks (environmental, water, forestry laws) apply to PES project Who should be the key regulatory authorities? Departments or Ministries Agriculture, Environment, Forestry / Climate change office Need to strengthen institutional capacities to manage ES projects and establish links with international buyers (e.g. carbon). E.g. REDD+: Need for a clear coordination mechanism to ensure that efforts to address REDD+ are effectively coordinated by different state agencies, civil society, private sector and communities. (Uganda RPP: through the national multi-actor RPP Steering Committee) Accountability and transparency should be enhanced. Pitfalls: conflicting laws or regulations, overlapping or conflicting authorities
9. 4. Relationship Among National / Subnational /Project Level Activities What is the appropriate subnational level (for example, council, district, provincial)? Specify how subnationaland/or project level activities will relate to national baseline crediting, including: What activities will be deemed to have contributed to the achievement of national-level goals? How will credits earned at a national level be allocated to (and as among) subnational or project-level activities? How (if at all) can project participants or participants in subnational activities be compensated independently of overall national performance?
10. 5. Definitions Clarity need around definitions of key terms such as "forest", "deforestation", "permanence", "crediting" etc, consistent with internationally agreed definitions. What is a forest? When do trees become a forest?
11. Purpose of the Readiness Preparation Plan (RPP) The FCPF seeks to build the capacity of developing countries in subtropical and tropical regions for REDD, and to prepare them to take advantage of incentive mechanisms currently under development To assist a country lay out and organize the steps needed achieving ‘Readiness’ to undertake activities that reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), in the specific country context. To provide a framework for a country to set a clear roadmap, budget, and schedule to achieve REDD Readiness.
12. Policy issues covered in the REDD RPP Preparation of a brief assessment of land use, forest policies and governance in the forest area; Preparation of a consultation and outreach plan on the national REDD strategy; Design of a social and environmental impact analysis methodology for the REDD strategy; Design of a national REDD strategy; Estimating investment and capacity building requirements for implementing the REDD strategy Source: R-PPs on the website of the FCPF
13. Analysis of how land and forest tenure are treated in selected R-PPs In many R-PPs, there is awareness of the problems with weak tenure and its links to REDD+ readiness but lack of a strategy for action (WRI, Goers et al. (2011)). Need for concrete steps and milestones for dealing with tenure issues. It is likely that designing tenure reform will, for most countries, be a cumbersome and costly process.
Editor's Notes
Example: Kenya’s 2010 Constitution establishes security over land rights as a key principle of land policy,together with “sound conservation and protection of ecologically sensitive areas”. The provisions of the Trust Land Act 1939(Trust Land Act) formally recognizes customary land use rights.The conversion of customary rights into statutory rights under a formal system of registration does not, however, necessarily translate into tenure security due to deficiencies in land administration. Even where community land ownership is clear, the rights to the forest carbon may not be. For example, the Forests Act is not intended to prejudice customary rights which attach to the historical use of land by forest communities,which leaves tenure in forest carbon uncertain on land subject to community ownership. If REDD+ does not incentivize faster or more ambitious land titling exercises then there are risks that more powerful actors outside or within communities will claim rights over and above those of communities or poorer individuals.In most African countries there is not one set of customary land tenure. Rather, tenure arrangements vary in both time and space. They are a result of interaction between different forms of customary tenure and changing formal laws. capturing these types of institution in formal laws requires great flexibility. Above all it requires in-depth knowledge of local circumstances, power relations, customary arrangements and practices. While research on general tenure reform is useful there is a need for country specific studies to inform national tenure reforms.RISK: Land tenure regimes will not transition fast enough to function within the time frame specified for REDD+ or to have a viable impact on the critical period of large scale carbon sequestration (next decades). Example in Uganda: Under the current land Act, it is difficult for a person holding land under the customary tenure to benefit from the carbon sequestration investment. Thus in order for people holding such lands it will be necessary to review the Land Act so as to support the issuing special titles for carbon sequestration and to provide incentives to avoid deforestation.tenure reform is important in a REDD+ context it should not be rushed in the name of REDD. This could lead to badly informed reforms that deepen inequalities rather than prevent them.
To evaluate potential policy options, it is necessary to understand how the existing policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks apply to PES projects. Because laws and regulations were not written with PES in mind, their implications for PES can be difficult to identify with certainty. Nevertheless, sources of applicable law and their likely impacts can – and must – be assessed in light of specific local and national circumstances.In general, applicable laws will be found in a country’s framework environmental, water, and forestry laws, as well as their laws on land and natural resources, agriculture, planning and infrastructure, and indigenous peoples. Depending on the host country, national laws and regulations may be readily available on the internet or at a library. However, “common law,” the law developed by judges through court decisions, is also important in many countries (so-called “common law” countries), and is likely to be significantly more difficult to find and interpret. It will also be important to identify applicable local laws and regulations, which may be harder to find than their national counterparts. Furthermore, legal language can be difficult for a layperson to interpret accurately. A local lawyer should be consulted to help identify the likely effect of all applicable laws and regulations.The government bodies that are most likely to have regulatory authority include those in charge of the environment, agriculture, and forestry. If the host country has a climate change office or Designated National Authority (DNA), this would also be a natural place to look for more information specifically about carbon issues. In most places, applicable laws were not written with PES in mind, meaning that project developers must watch out for gaps or overlaps in regulation and missing or inconsistent legal requirements. For example, the ministries of environment and agriculture, which often have overlapping authority over forests, water resources, and land, may each have a valid claim of regulatory authority over PES. In exercising their authority, they may impose inconsistent or even contradictory requirements on sellers and project developers.

The purpose of the R-PP is to build and elaborate on the previous Readiness Plan Idea Note (R-PIN) or a country’s relevant comparable work, to assist a country in laying out and organizing the steps needed to achieve ‘Readiness’ to undertake activities to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), in the specific country context. The R-PP provides a framework for a country to set a clear roadmap, budget, and schedule to achieve REDD Readiness. The FCPF does not expect that the activities identified in the R-PP and its Terms of Reference (ToR) would actually occur at the R-PP stage, although countries may decide to begin pilot activities for which they have capacity and stakeholder support. Instead, the R-PP consists of a summary of the current policy and governance context, what study and other preparatory activities would occur under each major R-PP component, how they would be undertaken in the R-PP execution phase, and then a ToR or work plan for each component. The activities would generally be performed in the next, R-PP execution phase, not as part of the R-PP formulation process.
Very few countries have succeeded in formulating in detail how to deal with tenure reforms. It proves to show that reforming tenure is more easily said than done.
