    REDD Plus and Indigenous Peoples: Opportunities and Risks: (Reducing Emissions From Deforestation and Forest Degradation)

    Uploaded by

    kaycelyn jimenez
    The document discusses opportunities and risks of REDD+ programs for indigenous peoples. It provides context on the history and goals of REDD+ in reducing emissions from deforestation. While REDD+ could allow indigenous groups to influence policies and access benefits, there are also risks like loss of land and forest rights. The document advocates for indigenous peoples' full participation in REDD+ to help safeguard their interests and integrate traditional knowledge into forest management.

    5. Road ahead
    International concept
    • Deforestation and forest degradation
    account for 13-17% of annual global
    greenhouse gas emissions

    • It is not addressed by the Kyoto Protocol

    • Deforestation is occurring mainly in


    tropical forest countries which are all
    non-Annex I countries

    History (inside UNFCCC)
    • 1997/2001 KP addresses only A/R in CDM, AD too
    controversial at the time
    • 2007 Bali Action Plan takes up idea of creating incentives
    to keep forests intact by making trees standing more
    valuable than felled (REDD)
    • 2009 CA:3 B USD funding of REDD-plus
    • 2010 SBSTA-32 identifies governance
    challenges(safeguards; demonstration activities; policies
    to tackle drivers; MRV; steps for readiness phase;
    methodological guidance; credible reference levels;
    coordination among institutions; etc.)

    Objective of REDD Plus
    • Pay compensation to tropical forest
    countries to stop deforestation and reduce
    forest degradation to contribute to
    reduction of CO2 emissions and removals
    or sequestration of CO2.

    7
    Approaches and risks
    RED/REDD
    • narrow focus on forest carbon stocks
    REDD-plus
    • “conservation” – risk of evictions and loss
    of rights for indigenous peoples and local
    communities
    • “sustainable management of forests”
    could include subsidies to commercial
    logging operations
    7
    Approaches and risks

    “enhancement of forest carbon stocks” could


    result in conversion of land (including forests)
    to industrial tree plantations, with serious
    implications for biodiversity, forests and local
    communities

    7
    Approaches and risks
    -exclusion from decision-making due to
    centralized , top-down forest management
    -Renewed state control over forests
    -Violations of rights over forests and
    forest resources, free, prior and informed
    consent
    -Land speculation, land grabs
    - Perverse incentives

    Geographical scale of REDD+ accounting
    Baseline setting, emissions reference levels
    Safeguards (environmental and social)
    Country level
    Monitoring, Reporting, Verification (MRV)
    Good governance (transparency, accountability,
    inclusiveness)
    Fair distribution of benefits
    7
    Opportunities:
    • engagement with REDD Plus processes to
    influence the design and architecture at global and
    national levels.
    • Push for needed policy reforms on forests, forest
    governance and indigenous peoples' rights.
    • Equitable sharing of benefits
    • Integration of indigenous peoples' knowledge
    systems and practices on forest management.
    • Implementation of safeguard policies

    Texts which contain references to IP
    rights.

    • Para 2(c) Respect for the knowledge and
    rights of indigenous peoples and local
    communities, by taking into account
    relevant international obligations,..and
