1 Responsible Asia Forestry and Trade (RAFT) World Forestry Congress Buenos Aires, Argentina 19 October 2009
2 Problem Definition Indiscriminate markets for forest products Inappropriate governance of forest resources (policies, institutions) Variable forest management practices Lack of transparency/cooperation in international timber trade Forests are undervalued compared with alternatives land-uses High rates of deforestation and forest degradation Environmental damage/biodiversity loss Social conflict/compromised livelihoods Significant rates of carbon emissions

5 Strategic Approach Consumer Gov t Wholesaler/Retailer Consumer Finance: Carbon/ Conventional Processor Gov t Processor Regional Institutions Producer Gov t Forest Manager Community
6 RAFT Details Partners International NGOs Corporate enterprises Forestry ministries Regional institutions US Government agencies Countries: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, PNG, Thailand & Vietnam TNC USAID Leverage: FY ~ $3 million ~ $11 million $ 58 million
7 RAFT Objectives Improve forest management practices on the ground; Increase trade of timber products from legal sources; Strengthen regional cooperation on forest management and trade of timber products; and, Enhance regional capacity to incorporate SFM into an emerging international REDD framework.
8 RAFT Interventions Land Management: HCVF, RIL, Conflict Management, Certification Processing: Procurement Policies/Supply Chain Management Governance: Chain of Custody/ Lacey Compliance, Customs Cooperation, Dialogue and REDD Capacity Development Research and Analysis: Timber trade & SFM and SFM and REDD
9 Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) All Rights Reserved.

11 Program Success Initial Conditions Indiscriminate markets for forest products Inappropriate governance of forest resources Variable forest management practices Lack of transparency and/or cooperation in international timber trade Forests are undervalued compared with alternatives uses Outcomes Stronger market signals (and implementation capacity) Stronger policy signals (and implementation capacity) Enhanced capacity and improved forest management on the ground Strengthened regional networks and institutions Demonstrated actions linking improved forest management to reduced carbon emission
12 Implementing Sustainable Forest Management Challenges & Opportunities
13 Broad Issues Management of Forest Forest Governance Illegal Logging and associated trade Processes (Voluntary & Compliance) Bilateral and Multilateral Trade Climate Change & REDD
14 Strategies Effects Loss of revenue to government Variability in trade data Ambiguous supply chain Credibility & Integrity of the country
15 Where RAFT works South East Asia 3 timber producer Countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea) Nearly 3 M ha of tropical forest moving towards certification 0.5 M ha FSC Certified forests (Indonesia & Malaysia) 33 Partners (Timber concessions, State owned FMUs, Public-private lands)
16 Tools & Approaches Responsible Forestry Forest Certification Standards and Processes both nationally and internationally, for natural and planted forest; High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) Toolkit for Identification and Management of Values in Forest Management Units
17 Tools & Approaches Forest Policy Engagement on Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA); Illegal Logging; Legality Standards; EU Due Diligence Policy, Lacey Act
18 Delivering Sustainable & Legal wood products to the marketplace: Challenges & Opportunities
19 Key Drivers Legislation Lacey Act US; Due Diligence Proposal EU Bilateral Agreements EU FLEGT; MoU China & Indonesia, etc Public Procurement Policies Green Building Initiatives Responsible Purchasing Policies & Codes of Conducts
20 Is there a Demand? Impact of Economic Crisis is substantial on sector But some encouraging trends: Ie. Increase in market share of certified product NL: 12% (2006), 60% (2008) UK: 56% (2005), 80% (2008)

26 RAFT Approach Promoting Chain of Custody Building awareness on market requirements & best practice Driving demand for sustainable products Focusing on supply chain approaches
27 Summary Strong market drivers being established; Encouraging trends in system uptake; Significant work ahead Supply chain consolidation Balancing incentives with bottom lines Eliminating illegal competition RAFT partners focused on supporting supply chains
28 Promoting Legal & Sustainable Timber Trade Challenges & Opportunities
29 Background to the Forest Trade Network Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN) Works towards eliminating illegally logged forest products and driving improvements in the quality of forest management Uses stepwise approaches to responsible forest management and purchasing Facilitates trade linkages and partnerships within a Business-to-Business framework Provides structural support to help alleviate the challenges in achieving credible certification Engages with companies within a transparent and commitment based relationship
30 Working with buyers A Stepwise Approach to Responsible Purchasing Certified Progressing Licensed sources Known sources Having developed a Responsible Purchasing Policy Unwanted
31 Investment Screening Assist financial institutions and other investors with development & implementation of Responsible Lending Policies, screening tools and techniques Conduct pilot projects with financial institutions and other investors to test and develop policies, tools and techniques with key clients or management companies
32 Procurement Policy Implementation responsible purchasing policies in Malaysia and Indonesia develop complete supply chain solutions that are credibly certified or in progress to credible certification
33 Carbon Finance Lessons learned Difficulty accessing capital Understanding finance requirements o Lack of quality business proposals o Lack of collateral o Disproportionate ESG costs o Match proposal and appropriate finance Engage investment community involved in the forest sector Develop financial and business capacity amongst forest companies
34 Reasons for Optimism The recession has not killed the willingness for companies to engage all along the supply chain. Certification is a proven tool and even though benefits vary companies continue to opt for it. The US Lacey Act and the forthcoming EC Regulation have sent very strong signals to both buyers and producers.
