Challenges and lessons learnt in framing REDD+ benefit-sharing in the Congo B...CIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation was given by Adeline Dontenville of the EU REDD Facility at a COP20 side-event titled "Benefit and Burden Sharing in Forest Policies and REDD+" in Lima, Peru.
The event addressed the benefits and costs associated with forest conservation initiatives across multiple countries, and their equity implications. It builds on results gathered from an ongoing multi-year European Commission-funded project aimed to provide policy options and guidance to improve the design, development, and implementation of REDD+ benefit sharing mechanisms.
This document discusses key takeaways from a session on demystifying free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC):
- FPIC is an international standard protected by human rights law regarding indigenous peoples' right to self-determination and participation in decisions affecting them.
- FPIC foremost serves as a safeguard for indigenous peoples' universal rights, and is part of social safeguards in climate agreements.
- FPIC is captured in some national policies but overall implementation is still limited.
The document provides examples of FPIC approaches from organizations in Southeast Asia. It also notes challenges in FPIC processes and the need to build understanding and capacity around FPIC for communities, governments, and companies.
This document discusses Community Private Partnerships (CPP), which involve communities and private entities collaborating on local infrastructure projects. CPPs operate on principles of local empowerment, participation, and accountability. They benefit communities by effectively targeting problems, putting resources under local control, and including vulnerable groups. CPPs are more efficient and reduce corruption compared to public-private partnerships by being demand-driven and involving communities in implementation. The document outlines the roles that local governments, NGOs, entrepreneurs, and various stakeholders play in CPPs. It also discusses potential project types, financing sources, and financial structures for CPP initiatives.
Part one of investigation into Public Private Partnerships and the potential scope and role for their application to development interventions in the Caribbean- presented as a webinar for the PMI (c) International Development Community of Practise (IDCoP)
Cameroon's laws encourage stakeholder participation in decision-making regarding the environment, forestry, mining, and land use planning. However, participation in practice faces challenges, such as a lack of clear consultation procedures, low capacity of communities, and poor documentation of processes. Weak participation in REDD+ poses risks like tenure disputes, elite capture of benefits, and process failures. The report recommends strengthening consultation procedures, learning from past platforms, monitoring participation quality, and establishing an early grievance mechanism for REDD+.

A public-private partnership (PPP) is a cooperative agreement between a public sector entity and private sector entity. The document discusses several examples of PPPs in India including a mobile hospital partnership and the National Institute for Smart Government. PPPs can provide sustainable growth by sharing goals, resources, risks, and benefits between public and private partners. They allow governments to develop infrastructure and services while transferring risks to the private sector. However, PPPs also carry risks that must be carefully managed.

It facilitates integrated development planning and farmer learning. Major interventions include strengthening local government involvement in NRM planning and developing market linkages. Key results include increased tree planting, community bylaws for watershed management, and income generation. Outcomes are reduced grazing/landslides, increased production/income, and strengthened community cohesion, gender balancing and youth engagement
Options and Way Forward in Designing Benefit Sharing In IndonesiaCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Iwan Wibisono from BP REDD+ given during the Forests Asia Summit in the discussion forum "Equitable development: What is the fairest of them all? Assessing aspects of equity in incentive mechanisms for natural resource conservation and management" focused on the REDD+ Benefit Sharing Program BP REDD+ is conducting, the difference of benefit and beneficiaries and the options for channelling the benefits.
This document proposes a quota system with four pillars to regulate energy resource use in a sustainable way. The first pillar is a cap and trade system for non-renewable energy quotas that would reduce usage each year. The second pillar establishes a green market for environmentally-friendly goods and services. The third pillar is a revolving fund to provide credit for sustainable investments. The fourth pillar provides advisory services to help stakeholders transition. The goal is to shift economies to be less resource intensive while stimulating growth through new types of financing.
The document summarizes a study on governance challenges limiting forest restoration initiatives. It finds that key challenges include a lack of inclusive land-use planning, unclear resource and tenure rights, and limited coordination across sectors and governance levels. However, existing initiatives like FLEGT, REDD+, and zero-deforestation programs provide opportunities to address some of these challenges. They have mechanisms for stakeholder participation and land-use planning that could support restoration efforts. The document concludes that restoration outcomes depend on governance, and learning from other initiatives can help strengthen restoration project design and implementation.
As part of the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) Project 'Sustaining Equitable Economic Development in ASEAN: Narrowing Income Gaps of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam (CLMV) Countries' a training session covering Agricultural Reforms and Productivity in CLMV Countries was held in Suzhou, China last September.The training program was organised by the ADBI, Tokyo and the Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Center (AFDC) in Shanghai.

Questions are also raised around ensuring citizen ownership of accountability mechanisms and selecting representative citizen groups.
Should Little Chalfont have a Neighbourhood Plan (1)Stephanie Buller
This document provides information on neighborhood planning and outlines its benefits and potential pitfalls. Neighborhood planning gives communities rights around local planning by allowing them to influence development in their area. It can preserve local green spaces and high streets while supporting appropriate development. Developing a neighborhood plan requires time, funding, and volunteer engagement. Common mistakes include poor consultation, unrealistic policies, and lack of support from local authorities. When done effectively, neighborhood planning has been shown to strengthen communities and encourage collaboration.

3 unlocking the potential presentation trish buchanwalescva
This document discusses improving access to condition-specific support for people in rural areas. It notes the challenges of delivering urban support models in rural contexts with low populations, distance, poor infrastructure, and cross-border issues. However, it also sees opportunities to build on rural strengths by taking a flexible, coordinated approach maximizing resources. Research found issues around responding to community needs, supporting local groups, and avoiding duplication. Solutions proposed a brokerage role to link national and local support and encourage collaboration between organizations to sustain local groups and target the most in need areas. The document advocates reviewing current support systems and developing relationships between condition charities and national organizations to better facilitate integrated, standardized support for conditions like stroke across Wales.

Dr Claire Haggett - SEAI National Energy Research & Policy Conference 2022SustainableEnergyAut
This document summarizes a presentation on engaging communities in offshore wind projects. It discusses:
1) The need to work with communities as offshore energy is not "out of sight, out of mind" due to onshore infrastructure and impacts on coastal communities. Forcing projects without community buy-in creates distrust.
2) Achieving "energy justice" requires fair processes, recognizing affected communities, and distributing benefits. This includes early and ongoing engagement, incorporating local knowledge, and ensuring engagement is accessible.
3) Distributing benefits fairly means addressing inequality by widely sharing climate benefits while ensuring costs fall on those who can pay. Benefits should be part of ongoing discussion, not to "buy" support, and include options

Accountability, Citizen Voice and Public Service DeliveryRidho Fitrah Hyzkia
1. After a decade of decentralization in Indonesia, sub-national service quality remains low and community needs have failed to shape government priorities, despite higher funding levels not improving local outcomes.
2. Poor service delivery is not due to a lack of capacity, authority or resources at the local level, but because local government staff and frontline workers lack incentives and accountability for their performance.
3. Reforms are needed to improve local government efficiency and responsiveness to local needs through stronger community engagement and social accountability, as well as incentives for good performance by frontline public servants.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.
