This document discusses responsible sourcing of tonewood and efforts to address deforestation. It summarizes that 13 million hectares of tropical forest are cleared annually, destroying habitats and impacting the climate and water systems. Every minute, an area the size of 20 football fields is lost. The Forest Trust (TFT) works with companies and communities to ensure products are sourced responsibly. The EU's Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) program and Timber Regulation aim to curb illegal logging by requiring importers to demonstrate legality and traceability of wood sources. Certification schemes like FSC help companies progress toward legal and sustainable sourcing.

Combating illegal logging lessons from the eu flegt action plan

Minh Vu

The document summarizes the EU's FLEGT Action Plan, which aims to curb illegal logging and related trade. It discusses why forests matter, why combating illegal timber trade is important, how and why FLEGT was created through Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) between the EU and producer countries. The summary outlines the VPA process, lessons learned from FLEGT so far, and next steps to further reduce illegal logging on a global scale through increased collaboration and stronger legislation in major consumer markets.

The document provides an overview of the EU FLEGT Action Plan, which aims to curb illegal logging and associated trade of timber products. It does so through several approaches: (1) providing support to timber-producing countries to improve forest governance and develop verification systems; (2) promoting legal timber trade through Voluntary Partnership Agreements between the EU and partner countries; (3) encouraging public procurement policies that favor legally and sustainably sourced timber; (4) supporting private sector initiatives for responsible forest management and supply chain oversight; and (5) considering existing and new legislation to regulate illegal timber trade.

Rene Boot_Certification, FLEGT & REDD+ Combining Incentives for Impact

International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation

This document discusses combining incentives from different forest initiatives to more effectively address challenges in the forest sector. It describes the FLEGT, REDD+, and timber certification initiatives and how combining FLEGT and REDD+ can create incentives for both export-oriented and domestic timber producers. Bringing together FLEGT, which focuses on improving governance and eliminating illegal logging, with REDD+, which provides incentives to reduce deforestation, and certification, which rewards sustainable practices, could motivate all producers to better manage forests in a more sustainable way. The document concludes that combining international initiatives in this manner can increase their overall effectiveness in reducing deforestation and degradation.

The document proposes a package of measures that address the problem of illegal logging and its trade. There are several other EU supported initiatives in developing countries . This Action Plan is mainly focused on the question of legality, but with the wider objective of promoting sustainable forest management. Key points of action are the improvement of the available legality verification systems, promoting transparency, protecting local smallholders and the encouragement of local participation against illegal logging and fighting corruption..

Regulation on deforestation- and forest degradation free supply chains

Eu flegt action plan

Minh Vu

This document proposes an EU Action Plan to tackle illegal logging and related trade. It focuses on supporting timber-producing countries to strengthen governance and enforce their own laws through capacity building, policy reform, and promoting transparency. It also aims to reduce EU consumption of illegally harvested timber through measures like a voluntary licensing scheme for imports and encouraging private sector initiatives. Coordination between EU members and stakeholders is needed to effectively implement the various support, trade, procurement, financing, and other measures outlined in the plan.

5. EU strategy for supporting FLEG regional declarations

ENPI FLEG

The EU strategy for supporting FLEG (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) regional declarations has two main objectives: fighting illegal logging through both internal EU policy measures and external bilateral/multilateral cooperation, and ensuring the EU does not contribute to the problem as a major consuming market. The key components are voluntary partnership agreements to regulate legal timber trade with partner countries, EU timber regulation banning illegal wood imports, and supporting sustainable forestry in producer countries through aid programs. Lessons learned include the importance of focusing on legality, linking supply and demand, and ensuring multistakeholder participation in reform processes.

Pro forest - working with the private sector on redd

Minh Vu

This document discusses engaging the private sector in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). It provides examples of how the private sector, through various mechanisms, can help reduce the negative impacts of production activities that cause deforestation such as agriculture and mining. It also discusses how private sector consumption and sourcing decisions can influence production by creating demand for deforestation-free commodities. The document examines lessons from engaging the private sector in the EU's Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade Action Plan (FLEGT) and mechanisms the private sector could employ to support REDD+ goals such as developing REDD+ projects and influencing consumption through responsible sourcing policies.

Pro forest - introduction to flegt

Minh Vu

The document provides an introduction to FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade), an EU initiative to reduce illegal logging. It discusses the EU FLEGT Action Plan, which includes measures to increase demand for legal timber through policies on public procurement and private purchasing, as well as measures to increase the supply of legal timber through Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) between timber exporting countries and the EU. VPAs involve timber licensing schemes and legality verification systems to ensure only legal timber enters international trade. The EU Timber Regulation further prohibits illegal timber in the EU market and requires companies to conduct due diligence on their timber sources.

ENPI FLEG

This document summarizes the EU's policy on forest law enforcement and governance through its FLEGT Action Plan. The plan aims to curb illegal logging by using trade agreements as incentives for partner countries to strengthen governance and adopt legally binding voluntary partnership agreements. It provides technical and financial support to improve partner countries' forest management and monitoring of timber imports to the EU. Some impacts seen so far include billions of dollars saved from illegal logging and tax losses, as well as significant reductions in carbon emissions by protecting forests in key countries like Indonesia. The EU Timber Regulation further requires EU operators to conduct due diligence on timber sources and enable traceability to ensure only legal wood products enter the market.

International experience in development of timber tracking systems

ENPI FLEG

The document provides an overview of timber tracking systems used internationally. It describes systems used in several tropical timber exporting countries as well as some European countries. For the tropical countries, it outlines timber tracking systems that are state-mandated and aim to monitor timber flows from harvest to processing. These systems use a mix of individual log identification methods like tagging alongside balance-based monitoring of timber volumes. The systems described aim to establish oversight and legality across international supply chains for timber trade.

Annual report 2010

FERN

FERN is a small NGO focused on achieving environmental and social justice in EU policies, particularly around forests and forest peoples' rights. In 2010, FERN worked on several campaigns related to forests and climate change, illegal logging, forest certification, and trade and investment. A key focus was ensuring REDD+ negotiations respected forest peoples' rights and did not rely on carbon offset financing. FERN published reports monitoring REDD negotiations and applying lessons from EU FLEGT processes to strengthen forest governance and local tenure rights in REDD+. FERN also facilitated meetings of the Forest Movement Europe network of over 45 forest NGOs.

John Bazill, DG Environment EC, Timber Regulation

sbelier

The document outlines the key features of the EU Timber Regulation, which prohibits placing illegal timber in the EU market and requires due diligence checks by operators. It defines legality based on a country's harvesting laws. Products are scoped based on customs codes. The regulation entered into force in 2010 and will be applicable in 2013, with further delegated and implementing acts to be adopted on procedures and risk assessment. Member states will designate authorities and checks may be performed on monitoring organizations that operators can use to demonstrate due diligence.

MSW - Making PPP Work, Ravi Kant

Ravi Kant

Ravi Kant provides a summary of public private partnerships in municipal solid waste management. Key points include: - Private operators can more effectively manage waste collection, transportation, treatment and disposal through established facilities due to their specialization and 24/7 operations. - Under PPP models, the government provides land and signs long-term concession agreements with private operators who invest capital to establish and operate waste treatment facilities, recovering costs through tipping fees paid per ton of waste managed. - When properly implemented, PPPs in waste management provide benefits to waste generators, governments, and private operators, while most importantly protecting the environment through scientific waste handling.
