REDD+: expectations for
Doha
UNFCCC – Durban to Doha• MRV and National forest monitoring
Measuring, reporting, verification• Reference levels - Country led; review
panel expected to further define review process
• Safeguards
System for providing information (SIS)• Finance
Variety of finance sources anticipated
REDD+ Finance
‘’a wide variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources.’
‘appropriate market-based approaches’ and ‘non-market based approaches could be developed.
Consensus‘Parties should collectively aim to slow, halt and reverse forest cover and carbon loss… consistent with the ultimate objective of the Convention, as stated in its Article 2’
To achieve lasting reduction in deforestation/degradation:
• good governance• address drivers of deforestation and degradation• protect natural forests• strengthen land tenure, respect rights
REDD+ today: what is happening?
• Establishing systems for MRV of carbon (~40% of readiness costs + human resources)
• Lack of action on “consensus” topics • “Conditionality” concerns over safeguards• Land tenure reforms not given priority• Rights not upheld

Results based actions5 years of REDD+ in UNFCCC: Reassess our approach?
• Incentive structure and expectations of future funding streams guide action today
• Future demand for VERs sufficient to get adequate REDD+ funding?
• How accurate MRV of emissions do we need?
Mis-allocation of scarce resources
• Carbon MRV does not contribute towards achieving result – only a tool for assessing performance
Proposal: align performance to ‘consensus’ actions
REDD+ results based payments should be built on the actions we know will work
Define performance as a wider set of parameters – reflecting areas where we need progress• governance• social• environment – incl. reduced emissions

Broader incentive structure• A package of performance• Nationally developed indicators• Low-cost approach; synergies with
existing systems– Harmonise with existing reporting
requirements: such as HR, CBD, FAO– Integral part of National Forest
Monitoring System; builds on Safeguards Information System
