9. Proposed priorities for the Plan’s new version
Readiness
and support
actions
• State Environmental Regularization
Program of rural properties
• Sustainable municipalities program
• Strengthening of monitoring
• Fire cutback campaign
REDD+
programs
• Sustainable forestry program
• Improved cattle ranching practices
program (GAP dissemination)
• Sustainable smallholder settlements
program
•Tackle illegal burnings
•Prevent and control forest fires
•MRV deforestation & degradation
emissions
•Tackle illegal logging
•CAR for all rural properties
•Streamline administrative processes
•Implement the CRA
•Support for improved practices
•Independent monitoring
•Compensation for legally deforestable
areas
•Productivity increase & improved
environmental and general management
•Involving meatpacking companies
•Support to key, viable value chains
•Improve communities’ organization

10. Perspective of implementation of the Mato Grosso
state REDD+ System
• Legal framework, defining:
rights, governance structure,
technical instruments and
safeguards
• Regulations of state REDD+ law
• Definition of baseline and
methodology (VCS JNR)
• Safeguards Information System (CCB)
What we already have Agenda for implementation
• 1st version of State Plan to control
deforestation (PPCDQ-MT)
• A few (pilot) REDD+ projects
• New version of Plan: develop REDD+
programs and preparation & support
actions
• Estimate of emissions based on
national-level data
• State-level MRV and accounting
system
• Seed funding from donors
• Proposals for Amazon Fund
• Comprehensive financing and fund-
raising strategy
• State approach aiming to integrate
into National REDD+ Strategy
• Full integration of State and National
REDD+ strategy
