1 Models and Institutional Structures for REDD+ in Brazil Osvaldo Stella Coordinator of the Climate Change Program IPAM Itaipava, Julho de 2011

2 Critical aspects Lack of legal framework or guidelines established by the federal government brings uncertainty, expectations and vulnerability to forest stakeholders (eg indigenous and local communities). Proliferation of REDD+ projects with the use of different methodologies and baselines increases the difficulties in identifying the real impact of the project and potential compensation.

3 Initiatives National Policy on Climate Change - Law National REDD+ strategy; Bill 5586 / 2010 and 195/2011; Amazon Fund; State plans; Projects in Indigenous Lands under voluntary market; REDD social and environmental safeguards;

4 Options related to Forest Carbon Initiatives Forest Carbon Initiatives REDD CDM Regulated Voluntary Only reforestation Projects Voluntary Markets Voluntary Donations Funds

5 General principles for implementing a REDD strategy REDD must operate on a national scale. REDD must be supported by a effective and permanent forestry legislation. A national REDD regime should incorporate the state plans to reduce deforestation in the Amazonian states. The benefits of REDD should include both emission reduction (flow) and forest conservation (stock).

6 General principles for implementing a REDD strategy To established who are the beneficiaries of a REDD regime. The benefits from REDD should be distributed fairly, equitably and prudently. Any REDD regime must respect the rights of forest peoples. A strategy for REDD should not overlook the potential investment through the carbon market.

7 General principles for implementing a REDD strategy A national REDD regime should establish a system to document, record and report the reductions in carbon emissions. The funds from a REDD regime should be invested in integrated actions and policies to reduce deforestation, forest conservation and improvement of the regime itself.

8 Targets for reducing deforestation in Amazon Target is revised every five years. / year 2,9 billions of tco2 avoided emissions Dados do PRODES TARGETS Média Simulating Future Deforestation Rates

9 Distributing avoided tco2 emissions per state - flow Distributing emissions reduction ( ) per state in Amazon, considering only the flow

10 Distributing C-REDD among Brazilian Amazonian States Distributing C-REDD s for states according to the following criteria: (a) Deforestation reduction (30%) (b) Forestry stocks conservation (50%) (c) Achievement of the targets (20%)
