The document outlines the State of Acre's strategy for sustainable development, which includes initiatives to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while promoting economic growth. It discusses the jurisdictional program's integration into a national strategy, focusing on a phased approach to managing emissions and carbon stocks through historical data and advanced monitoring techniques. The document emphasizes the importance of secondary instruments like REDD+ for effective environmental governance and the challenges of aligning economic development with conservation efforts.

It is a jurisdictional
subnational program:
Needs to predict their
future integration into
a national strategy

8. Assumptions to define the Baseline
1. The objective: to reduce emissions from deforestation,
forest degradation and sustainable management of natural
resources;
2. Jurisdictional program ≠ large scale project,
3. It is subnacional: needs to be integrated in the national
strategy
4. Knowledge: historic of deforestation, national and state
biomass stimative, forest degradation and removals are not
available (yet);
5. Drive of deforestation = demand for agriculture and cattle,
while of forest degradation = demand for wood: we can use
two baselines for each activity;
6. We can implement the program in phases;

9. Historical baseline:

First Phase: Early actions (2006 – 2010)
• Investments starting
before this period
• Official Data of
deforestation from
PRODES/INPE are
processed to avoid
clouds: continuous
series of data =
more observation by
year
• Fractals model to
spatialize the
baseline
• Biomass by pixel

13. Second Phase: From the Programa was cerated by
law (2011 – 2020)
Official Data of deforestation from
PRODES/INPE
Minimum area mapped: 6 ha
Historical data: 1996 – 2005

16. Using REDD+SES in
Acre State
The SISA and its programs such as IES Carbon
Program, are instruments to achieve sustainable
development
REDD+ SES:
• instrument to report and communicate the
impacts and results of the SISA
• Instrument to monitoring the Brazilian
safeguards and the principles of the Law of
SISA.
• bring the main points to pay attention
regarding to safeguards and needs for
regulation
• instrument of the Councils and the
Commission for Monitoring and Validation to
develop their work

17. Benefit Sharing

18. Final Considerations
• Focus on jurisdictional program versus project perspective: change the model of
economic development (versus conservation policy)
– Economic growth with human development and conservation of natural
resources
– Value the forest through the consolidation of forest based economy
– REDD+ is one more instrument inside of a broader state policy for sustainable
development
• The technical aspects, institutional and legal framework of a jurisdictional REDD+
program need to address these challenges.
• Next steps:
– Finish the pre-assessment regarding to the VCS jurisdictional requirements (TUV SUD)
– Validation of the program through the VCS jurisdictional requirements (TUV SUD, IPAM,
IMC, LUDOVINO LOPES AND FGV)
– Still planning: work on leakage and risk assessment
– Procedures for nested projects
