8 National REDD+ Strategy (cont.) VISION: Cambodia contributes to national and global climate change mitigation through improved forest lands management practices, biodiversity conservation and green inclusive development. MISSION: Improve the functioning and capacity of national and sub-national institutions and strengthen the implementation of existing policies, laws, and regulations to achieve green inclusive development while contributing to climate change mitigation. GOALS: Reduce deforestation and forest degradation while promoting sustainable management, conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks Fulfilling Cambodia s requirements under the UNFCCC to be eligible to receive results-based payments for implemented REDD+ policies and measures (PAMs). 8

9 Vision Mission Goals Strategic Objective 1 Improve Effectiveness of Forest Resources Management Strategic Objective 3 Enhance Capacities, Knowledge and Awareness Strategic Objective 2 Encourage Implementation of Sustainable Forest Management 9

10 National REDD+ Strategy (cont.) Strategic Objective 1: Improve effectiveness of monitoring on the utilization of forest resources forest land and management Strategies: Promote forest land tenure security through forest land classification/ zoning, demarcation, and registration Strenthening law enforcement activities to combate deforestation and forest degradation by participating from differnt stakeholders Monitor the status of existing ELCs and SLC for compliance and strengthen the capacities to influence effectively ELC and SLC performance. Enhance the managment of forest conservation area ( Protected Area and Fishery Conservation Area). Enhance the system and technical capacities for data collection, management, processing, consolidation, quality assurance and quality control for the forest and land use sectors Contribute to consolidation and harmonisation (ensuring no duplications of responsibilities and roles) of legal frameworks for use of land and forest resources Mitigate social and environmental impacts on forests and local communities resulting the implementation activieis to combate deforestation and forest degradation both within and outside forest sectors (i.e infrastructure developmetn..ect) 10

11 National REDD+ Strategy (cont.) Strategic Objective 2: Encourage implementation of sustainable forest management activities Strategies: Strenthening and scale up the community based forest mangament area (CF, CFA, IP land managment, and expand agroforestry practices in local communities). Encourage private sector in implementing sustainable suply chain that provide alternatives to reduce deforestation and forest degradation Enhance and/ or incentivise appropriate afforestation/ reforestation activities and silvicultural practices on state land Enhance the timber supply sources from prive plantation through the conversion degraded agriculture land to tree plantation to reduce presure on nature forest utilization. Enhance the timebers supply and wood based energy sourced from community based forest management such as community forestry, community protected area, and community fishery to reduce the demand for wood-based energy and timbers sourced from natural forests. Promote effective, equitable sustainable management and use of forests, forestlands and non-timber forest products Equitable alternative livelihoods development programmes for local community to optimise diversified co-benefits from forest resources and contibute to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. 11

12 National REDD+ Strategy (cont.) Strategic Objective 3: Promote stakeholder participation and enhance capacities, knowledge and awareness to implement the national strategy Strategies: Mainstream REDD+ PAMs with relevant national and sectoral policies to promote NRS implementation to generate additional finance to support forest and related sectors Improve capacities, knowledge and awareness of relevant stakeholders to implement PAMs to reduce deforestation and forest degradation Strengthen institutions and coordination frameworks to ensure coherent policy responses to reduce deforestation and forest degradation resulting from large-scale economic development and/ or infrastructure projects Encourage public engagement, participation, and consultations as one of the primary entry points for forestry and land use planning, promoting the involvement of multiple stakeholders including community-based organisations, local communities, indigenous peoples, women, youth, NGOs, and the private sector and academia Strengthen the role of academic institutions/ research institutes in training, research and technology development associated with forestry, land use policies and REDD+ Mobilise development partners to cooperate in building knowledge and human resources related to forestry, land use and climate change governance 12

13 Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS) National Forest Inventory Design and Field Manual are developed Emission Factors are developed based on collected data NFMS is established Forest Reference Emission Level (FREL) Forest Cover (FC) and FREL for 2006, 2010 done FC for 2014 being finalized FREL for 2014 being calculated FC for 2016 being assessed 13

14 Challenges Human resources for law enforcement (1 ranger to patrol ha of forest in average). Human resources for technical works (GIS, MRV, forest inventory ). Facility, equipment, transport and station for rangers. Coordination between line ministries/agencies and development partners. Financial resources (long-term) to conserve all Protected Areas. Solution: Coordination and mechanism REDD+ Projects through Multilateral and Bilateral Cooperations Voluntary and/or Mandatory Carbon Markets 14

15 Kao Seima Wildlife Sanctuary REDD+ Project for KSWS in cooperation with WCS Total area: 292,690 ha Core area: 166,983 ha Predicted emission reductions: ~12 million tco2e over 10 years REDD+ Project start: 2010 VCS Validated: 2014 CCBA Validated: 2015 Verified: June 2016 Carbon sold: 365,000 tons 15

16 Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary Cooperation between MOE, Japanese Company, and Conservation International (CI) Total area: 431,683 ha Initial REDD+ Project start: 2017 for three year times Full REDD+ Project start: 2020 onward 16
