2 Vision: A world free of poverty, hunger and environmental degradation. Our goals Reduce poverty Improve food and nutrition security for health Improve natural resource systems and ecosystem services

3 The forest transition curve

4 Theory of how the world changes Seeing REDD+ through the lens of 4 I s

5 Examples of how we work

6 FTA Sentinel Landscapes Network long-term, cross-regional monitoring The Data set 7 Sentinel Landscapes 4 Sentinel Sites per Landscape 10 Villages per Sentinel Site 160 Sampling Points per Sentinel Site 1200 Households per landscape 280 Villages; 8500 Households, 4480 ground truthing points

7 PDI, $/p/d Intensification Benefit Index (IBI) Median Intensification Benefit Index Madre de Dios IBI = 2.16 IBI = 0.15 Cassou Net return, $/ha/y The IBI is the increase in Personal Daily Income for each additional $ from agricultural activities (increase in net return per hectare) It provides an indication whether an agricultural intervention is likely to make a significant difference to the income of farmers. Harris and Orr, 2014

8 Gassner, Harris, Chiputwa, 2015 What does it take to lift people out of poverty? Large between-site variation of IBI At some sites, fewer than 50% of households can substantiallybenefit

9 Oil palm in Indonesia and beyond THEMES Policy frameworks Governance arrangements Corporate decision-making Inclusive business models Socio-ecological trade-offs ACHIEVEMENTS Oil Palm Engagement in progress with IPOP Panel on international conferences on the challenges and opportunities from zero deforestation Support to InPOP platform on smallholders Analyzed business models for oil palm production in Indonesia, Cameroon, Peru Providing inputs to gender perspectives in RSPO Inputs to a sustainable OP strategy in Cameroon Contributions to the debate on fire and haze Related projects LIFFE Options (DFID) Corporate governance (DFID) Aligning oil palm with best practices in Indonesia (CCAFS) Supporting local regulation for sustainable oil palm in East Kalimantan (CLUA) Oil palm adaptive landscapes (ETH) Governing Oil Palm Landscapes for Sustainability, GOLS (USAID) The political economy of fire and haze (DFID)

10 Timber regulations and trade THEMES Timber FSC implementation FLEGT impacts Domestic timber markets SMEs economic performance ACHIEVEMENTS Informed debates in the EU on domestic markets Strong engagement with FSC to share recommendations from study in Congo Basin, and endorsement of recommendations by WWF Supported key state agencies in Central Africa for devising/refining their forestry regulations Informed the forestry regulations in Ecuador, and assessed outcomes in Peru and Bolivia Related projects Community forestry enterprises in timber in Africa (FAO) Congo Basin Timber (ATIBT) Community forestry regime in the DRC (CIRAD) Technical support for the implementation of the VPA/FLEGT in Cameroon (FAO) Africa-China Informal Resource Trade - ACIRT (IIED) Legal timber applications in domestic wood markets in Cameroon (CERAD) Development of Intra-African Trade and Further Processing in Tropical Timber and Timber Products (ITTO)

11 Capturing genetic gain in Allanblackia parviflora - a new tree crop for Africa Progeny evaluation reveals plus trees for selection First time fruiting of a 6-year old tree, producing 79 fruits

12 Public Private Partnerships: Allanblackia Current members of the partnership Unilever ICRAF Novel International NARS IUCN Farmers FORM RSSDA UEBT Funding, product development & marketing Domestication - selection, propagation, germplasm distribution & conservation, agroforestry development Supply chain, marketing, multiplication and distribution support to R&D sustainable harvesting & biodiversity conservation Smallholder agroforestry systems Pilot plantation - Ghana Pilot plantation - Nigeria Certification of organic and fair trade standards Supply chain and market development

13 Allanblackia margarine launched in Sept 2014

14 GCS-REDD+ - Verified impact stories Global CIFOR contributed to the stepwise approach in setting FRELs/RLs (MRV) international expert consultations that led to a UNFCCC decision 2011 for a stepwise approach on setting, measuring and reporting reference levels (UNFCC Decision 12/CP17). UNREDD made tenure part of its strategy framework based on information CIFOR generated under this investment (2014) National CIFOR was influential in Indonesia s REDD decisions Supported FORDA directly and was involved the Indonesian National REDD+ Strategy development Supplied information that informed the GoI's decisions on the forest moratorium and forest reference emission levels (peatland emission factors) Support to establishment of Indonesia National Carbon Accounting System (INCAS) in 2015 (funding from the Government of Australia) CIFOR research contributed to the Cameroon R-PP and the Peru National REDD+ Strategy CIFOR s engagement with national technical staff in Guyana and Ethiopia resulted in both countries adopting CIFOR s stepwise approach
