REDD+ Financing - more money, more benefits?CIFOR-ICRAF
More money for REDD+ may not necessarily lead to more benefits according to the document. Information on the effectiveness of REDD+ financing is patchy. Most REDD+ funding comes from Norway, Germany, the US, and the UK as aid, while markets contribute far less. Funding goes mostly to emissions reductions projects in Brazil, Indonesia, and Colombia, but exact benefits are unclear due to lack of data transparency and availability. Improving data could help increase understanding and support of REDD+.

Global Comparative Study on REDD+: Inputs for ASEAN regionCIFOR-ICRAF
The document summarizes a presentation on a global comparative study of REDD+ in the ASEAN region. It discusses the following key points in 3 sentences:
The project analyzed the impact of REDD+ programs through longitudinal household datasets and a database of REDD+ projects. Research found that REDD+ led to reductions in deforestation but also short-term declines in well-being and forest revenue. The presentation recommends diversifying REDD+ approaches, balancing market-based and grassroots programs, supporting experimentation, and fostering collaboration on REDD+ within ASEAN.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: From Commitment to DeliverySDGsPlus
The document discusses efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It provides:
1) An overview of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their universal nature.
2) Examples of World Bank Group initiatives to support implementation, including expanding SDG dashboards, assessing country trajectories, and addressing delivery challenges.
3) Plans to engage with countries conducting voluntary reviews at the 2016 UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development to share experiences and lessons on implementing the 2030 Agenda.
The document discusses international and national institutional arrangements for REDD+. At the international level, the main institutions are the UNFCCC, the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), UN REDD, and the World Bank's Forest Investment Program. The FCPF has two mechanisms, the Readiness Fund and Carbon Fund. Nationally, countries are establishing REDD+ committees and designating lead agencies to develop strategies, reference scenarios, and monitoring systems. Effective national frameworks require legislation, policies, stakeholder engagement, and coordination across sectors that impact forests.
Landscape of REDD+ Funding Disbursements in DRC and Updates on REDD+ projectsCIFOR-ICRAF
- ODA funding for REDD+ projects in the DRC has increased in size and diversity of donors between 2010-2021, with an average of $11.4 million committed and $8.11 million disbursed per year. However, the DRC's disbursement rate is lower than the global average.
- A new major donor is the Bezos Earth Fund (private development fund), which disbursed 100% of committed funds. Large institutions like development banks have low disbursement rates (<50%).
- There are currently 2 REDD+ projects in the DRC generating an estimated $31.6 million annually from trading carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market, compared to $8
This document provides an overview of the OECD DAC statistics and Rio markers system for tracking climate, biodiversity, and desertification related finance.

1) REDD+ projects in Africa have made progress in establishing national frameworks and early pilot projects, but face challenges around policy coordination, land tenure clarity, and community engagement.
2) While readiness activities have advanced in first-tier countries, funding has not fully supported pilot projects, and Francophone countries remain less engaged.
3) The future may see a greater role for sub-national REDD+ initiatives and private sector involvement as limitations of national programs become clear.
1) REDD+ projects in Africa have made progress in establishing national frameworks and pilot projects, but face challenges around land tenure, benefit sharing mechanisms, and community inclusion.
2) While many countries have completed readiness plans and started early projects, challenges remain around coordination between government ministries, establishing credible baselines, and building local technical capacity.
3) The future of REDD+ in Africa over the next 5-10 years is expected to see a greater role for sub-national initiatives and private sector involvement in projects, though implementation of country-level programs faces uncertainties due to low government effectiveness in some areas.

Transforming REDD+ lessons learned and way forwardCIFOR-ICRAF
1. The document discusses lessons learned from REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) programs and ways to improve their effectiveness.
2. It summarizes findings from the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ which assessed REDD+ policies and projects in 6 countries and found modest impacts on reducing deforestation and mixed effects on community well-being.
3. It argues that for REDD+ to be more effective, programs need to support large-scale reforms that incentivize conservation, economic efficiency, and government budgets, rather than remain as small projects. Impact assessments also need to better evaluate REDD+ outcomes.
The document discusses WWF's Forest Carbon Initiative (FCI) and its strategy for engaging with REDD+ between 2010-2013. The strategy focuses on 5 components: 1) influencing global REDD+ policy, 2) supporting national REDD+ readiness, 3) implementing early action REDD+ projects, 4) mobilizing REDD+ financing, and 5) developing MRV systems. The goal is to help ensure REDD+ effectively reduces emissions and benefits biodiversity, livelihoods and indigenous peoples' rights.

This document summarizes research by CIFOR on REDD+ initiatives in Indonesia. CIFOR has conducted a Global Comparative Study (GCS) on REDD+ across multiple countries since 2009. In Indonesia, GCS research was conducted at two REDD+ sites: the Katingan-Mentaya Project and Berau Forest Carbon Program. Household surveys were administered to 450 households across three phases (2010, 2014, 2018) to analyze the impact of REDD+ on forest and agricultural revenues using propensity score matching and difference-in-differences analyses. Preliminary results found forest revenues increased in REDD+ villages compared to control villages from 2010-2014, while agricultural revenues decreased from 2010-2018 in RED

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
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.

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.

Review of financing for REDD+ in DRC and
implications for strategies to improve access
to finance
2. Overview
Question:
• How is REDD+ financing via overseas development assistance (“REDD+ ODA”) and
voluntary carbon markets (“REDD+ Markets”) distributed globally?
• How is DRC accessing these financing sources compared to other forested countries?
Review of
• REDD+ projects and voluntary carbon market engagement by DRC REDD+ projects
• REDD+ international public funding for REDD+ in DRC using OECD database
Comparisons
• 3 tropical forest countries (DRC, Brazil, Indonesia)
• 3 tropical forest regions (Africa, L. America, Asia + Oceania)
3. Finance from where?
Public
Private
This presentation: Developed country contributions: ODA transfers (‘REDD+
Aid’) and Voluntary Carbon Markets/VCM (‘REDD+ Market)
There are others not included (e.g., domestic funds, regional funds)
4. REDD+ Aid
International finance from public sources, transferred across countries
through bilateral/multilateral agreements and specialized funding
mechanisms for REDD+

9. Review
• REDD+ Aid
• Relies on a small number of donors – vulnerable to change
• Goes to the tropics. Not necessarily related to forest size
• Multilaterals play a major role globally and in DRC in channeling funds
• NGOs play a more important role in channeling funds in DRC than at the
global level

REDD+ project status 2018-2022
Still ongoing in 2020 TBC Not ongoing in 2020 New in 2020
• Between 2018-2022
• More projects ceased in
DRC compared to
Brazil/Indonesia and
regions
• No new projects found in
DRC vs. new projects in
other countries/regions
17. Discussion – hypotheses (1)
• DRC not meeting its carbon finance potential (Market and Aid)
• Implementation is indeed a big issue: projects established, end, and not replaced
• DRC cannot play catch up following other people’s rules.
• Build a forest coalition
• Indonesia and Brazil are winners in the carbon market system. Is there common ground?
• Alternatives: COMIFAC?
• It needs to innovate – create systems that work locally
• Building capacity but also:
• marketing, sharing, and updating data → appreciate what is there, build on it: unique
indigenous systems
18. Discussion – hypotheses (2)
• Huge untapped potential – forest carbon potential with nowhere to go
• Indicates
• REDD+ market not for DRC? – there is a huge gap that the private sector is not willing to cross
• REDD+ aid - DRC is on a longer readiness journey than other top forest countries.
• Second mover strategy –DRC will be ready after first movers pave the way
• Assuming: forests are still standing!
19. Data sources
• ID-RECCO: International database on REDD+,
v.4.2 https://www.reddprojectsdatabase.org/
• Public and free download of database of >600
REDD+ projects (ongoing and discontinued)
from >50 countries
• Systematic data collection from public data
(REDD+ project documents, carbon credit
registries, websites)
• Updated every two years, last in 2020 (v4.2)
• 2022 ongoing update (v5) will include
jurisdictional REDD+ programs
• REDDFIT: OECD’s Creditor Reporting System,
which we tagged for REDD+ activities (methods in
EC DG-Clima, 2018.
https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2834/687514)
• OECD data on international ODA transfers that
we tagged for REDD+ - not yet open access
