Era vs ERA (vs ERA Congo)
• ERA Ecosystem Restoration
Associates Inc Vancouver British
Colombia, since 2005
• Forest Carbon project development in
North America (AB32, FCOP) and
REDD development in Congo Basin,
Latin America
• Name change in 2013

Great Bear Forest Carbon
Initiative
• Largest intact temperate rainforest
in the world
• Carbon credits purchased by
voluntary market as well as BC
public sector (Pacific Carbon
Trust)

Mai Ndombe REDD+ project
• >265,00 ha, 30,000
people in 26 villages,
mostly lakeside
subsistence fisheries.
• Baseline land use:
industrial timber
harvesting for
international markets
• Began development in
2009

Mai Ndombe REDD+ -
• Good Pilot for DRC,
good for conservation
• BUT! Not easy model to
replicate.
– Previous concession
holder not a stakeholder
– Low-opportunity cost
– Built on specific
relationships and
opportunities

Project Development 2.0
Positive changes in Project Activities
Addressing Underlying drivers
Focus on governance (transparency, accountability)
Challenge: how to scale up finance?
Becoming financially sustainable
Bundling of environmental assets beyond carbon
Challenge: can be more difficult to address drivers
![Page 8: Critical theme - Moving forward with REDD+ (part one)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547de0f55806b5ae5e8b461b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Focus on Bundling
assets beyond
carbon
Economic benefits to
communities
Sustainable agriculture
High-value processing
CHALLENGE
underlying drivers of
deforestation often not
linked to communities

Focus on
underlying drivers
Needed approach:
Transparency with
local environmental
authorities
Inter-ministerial
cooperation at national
level
CHALLENGE
Particularly difficult to
finance

Voluntary Carbon Market
• Will not get us to 30 billion! So why talk about it?
Provides evidence to inform policy
– Performs reasonably well with regards to S/E safeguards.
– Suppliers predict market value could reach $2.3 billion in
2020 (up from $523 million in 2013) **if we get the
communication right**

The Differentiator Problem
![Page 12: Critical theme - Moving forward with REDD+ (part one)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547de0f55806b5ae5e8b461b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The ‘own the story’ problem
• Result: many CSR-
driven buyers would
prefer to finance
transaction costs rather
than purchase credits.

The marketability problem
![Page 14: Critical theme - Moving forward with REDD+ (part one)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051323/547de0f55806b5ae5e8b461b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Some Concluding Remarks
• Voluntary market as enabled some useful early action,
but will not be able to keep up as REDD scales up.
• REDD+ initiatives have become ‘smarter’, but in doing
so have added funding challenges.
• Just because Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is
limited as a REDD catalyst, it still has a huge role to
play in addressing the cause of avoided deforestation
by other means: consumer demand for green
commodity supply chains.
