Transcript of Topic 1 jnr overview (south-south jnr workshop, manaus) 13 jun 13 final
Topic 1: Program Approaches to Effectively Reduce/Remove Emissions
South-South Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR)
Exchange Workshop
Manaus, Brazil 13 June 2013
Naomi Swickard, VCSA 13 Jun 2013
Outline
• Definition of drivers, causes, agents of deforestation/degradation
• Measures/activities to reduce emissions and increase sequestration
• Scope of activities (avoided deforestation, avoided degradation, enhancement of carbon stocks)
• Deciding on JNR Scenario (1, 2, 3) • Integration of policy, programmatic and nested
project approaches • Public consultation, safeguards and benefit sharing
• Jurisdictions shall identify the baseline drivers of deforestation or degradation (including their potential for leakage)
• Any change in drivers of deforestation or degradation shall aid land use change analysis (eg, changes in significance of drivers, changes in location of drivers) and stratification • Data on the drivers of deforestation will be used in baseline
reassessment • Non-Permanence Risk Assessment includes factors
related to ensuring that measures taken to mitigate drivers, causes and agents will be effective in the long-term (ie, the risk of reversals stemming from problems with program design)
Definition of drivers of deforestation/degradation
Eligible Activities
• REDD: Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation • Avoided unplanned deforestation and degradation • Avoid planned deforestation
• IFM: Improved Forest Management • Reduced impact logging • Logged to protect forest • Extended rotation age • Improved forest management • Low productive to high productive forest
• ARR: Afforestation, Reforestation and Revegetation • Afforestation, reforestation and revegetation
Mitigation Activities Examples
• Policy: • Improving forest law enforcement • Improving or undertaking land use planning and zoning • Low-emissions development planning • Legal requirements for private sector activities
• Programs: • Ecosystem services programs • Incentives for private sector to invest in sustainable
activities
• Project: • REDD+ projects

Example: Scenario 2
Grandparenting
• ‘Grandparenting’: Providing time for projects and lower level jurisdictions to transition into national/sub-national programs
• Where a higher level baseline is registered after the registration of a lower level project or jurisdictional baseline: • Lower level jurisdictional baseline shall be grandparented and
remain valid for 18 months • Project level baseline shall be grandparented and remain valid for
the number of years remaining before due to be updated • After grandparenting period, project baseline should always
be updated to harmonize with the higher level, except where the higher level baseline doesn’t include the same activities, within 18 months
• Where a subnational jurisdiction is registered and national government subsequently defines different boundaries for subnational jurisdictions, subnational jurisdiction is grandparented
Safeguards
• Jurisdictional programs, baselines and crediting options shall be developed and documented in a transparent manner, and in consultation with relevant stakeholders.
• Must be in accordance with safeguards in Decision 1/CP.16 of Cancun Agreements
• Stakeholder consultation, dispute resolution mechanisms required
• Safeguards must be monitored and reported on • Jurisdictions may use REDD+ SES to meet (and
exceed) these requirements
