However, more and more of the institutional changes necessary to turn the corner on deforestation in the coming years are occurring at all levels of government. Below are some notable areas of progress we\u2019ve seen recently on REDD+.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>National programs complete Warsaw Framework for REDD+ requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Three countries (Brazil, Ecuador, and Malaysia) have now submitted all <a href=\"http:\/\/redd.unfccc.int\/info-hub.html\">Warsaw Framework for REDD+ requirements to the Lima Info Hub<\/a>, and 36 countries have <a href=\"http:\/\/redd.unfccc.int\/submissions.html?topic=6\">submitted Forest Reference Emission Levels<\/a>\u00a0 \u2013 an increase of 11 submissions since COP 23 in November 2017.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Innovation in Brazil<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Notable progress has been made in Brazil, where the country\u2019s national REDD+ committee (CONAREDD+) modified its Amazon Fund incentive system to use a \u201cstock-flow\u201d approach to directly benefit its nine Amazon Basin states. The approach recognizes efforts by the Amazon Basin states to not only reduce deforestation (the \u201cflow\u201d part), but also conserve their current forest carbon stocks (the \u201cstock\u201d part). A <a href=\"https:\/\/openknowledge.worldbank.org\/bitstream\/handle\/10986\/29720\/125270App.pdf?sequence=5&amp;isAllowed=y\">recent report<\/a> funded by the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) explains the new system and how it should better incentivize Amazon Basin states to conserve carbon stocks and reduce deforestation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Most important to curbing deforestation and enhancing REDD+ is for the amount and scope of results payments to national governments to increase. Until then, it will be challenging to accelerate the necessary government-led actions and policy changes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Forest Carbon Partnership Facility countries advance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Progress is also being made in the FCPF\u2019s Carbon Fund. The Carbon Fund board has approved or provisionally approved the Emission Reduction Programs of 11 countries. Four of those countries (Costa Rica, Chile, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mexico) are in or starting negotiations to finalize the results-based payment terms, which should be concluded before the year\u2019s end. It is possible that a payment for results will also occur before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Colombia \u2013 a step backward and a step forward<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Colombia offers a mixed bag of progress and challenges. Deforestation did increase since the signing of the peace agreement, but the government is taking various actions to combat this rise in deforestation. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-colombia-deforestation-amazon\/colombias-top-court-orders-government-to-protect-amazon-forest-in-landmark-case-idUSKCN1HD21Y\">Colombian Supreme Court ruled that the government must<\/a> protect the Amazon forest. To support the government\u2019s efforts, the Norwegian government <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/colombia-norway-environment\/colombia-takes-unprecedented-step-to-stop-farms-gobbling-forests-idUKL8N1RO439\">agreed<\/a> to finance these actions through results based payments that must also include benefits to Colombia\u2019s indigenous peoples. This complements the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/colombia-norway-environment\/colombia-takes-unprecedented-step-to-stop-farms-gobbling-forests-idUKL8N1RO439\">Colombian government\u2019s expansion of indigenous territories<\/a> in mid-2017.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>REDD+ projects\u2019 evolution in national systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Colombia was also in the spotlight when it announced that companies would be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ieta.org\/resources\/COP%2023\/Side-Event-Presentations\/REDD%20Panel%20IETA%20-%20Durschinger%20Colombia%20Carbon%20Tax%20Overview%20v1-0.pdf\">meet their carbon tax responsibility through purchasing emissions reductions from REDD+ projects<\/a>. \u00a0Only a month ago, news came from <a href=\"https:\/\/althelia.com\/2018\/05\/21\/world-first-peru-moves-to-integrate-redd-forest-conservation-projects-into-paris-climate-plan\/\">Peru that the federal government will \u201cnest\u201d some REDD+ projects into its nationally determined contribution (NDC) commitments.<\/a> For both countries, it is still unclear how exactly the \u201cnesting\u201d of the projects, benefit sharing, and accounting against NDCs will work, but these are important first steps.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Private sector deforestation reduction strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Collaboration with the private sector will be important for the success of REDD+ \u2013 especially in countries where agriculture commodities such as beef and soy are the main drivers of deforestation. Previous strategies were focused on using third-party verified certification schemes, but their limitations have been recognized and now a more holistic and complete solution is being pursued: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climatetalks\/2017\/06\/22\/local-government-must-lead-zero-deforestation-efforts-at-jurisdictional-levels\/\">the jurisdictional approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Multinational companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wedocs.unep.org\/bitstream\/handle\/20.500.11822\/22768\/Report%20of%20Forests%20Day%20at%20UNFCCC%20COP%2023(1).pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y\">Unilever, Mars, Olam, and Walmart all announced<\/a> their support of this strategy last year at COP 23\u2019s Forest Day while on a panel with leaders from the <a href=\"http:\/\/pci.mt.gov.br\/\">Mato Grosso, Brazil<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreversabah.org\/sabah-rspo-2025\">Sabah, Malaysia<\/a> jurisdictions. Mato Grosso\u2019s Produce, Conserve, and Include strategy (PCI) is probably one of the most advanced jurisdictional approaches and has recently been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icv.org.br\/2017\/11\/13\/mato-grossos-homework-still-due-for-cop23\/\">buoyed by both a REDD+ Early Movers (REM) MoU worth 17 million euros <\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/chainreactionresearch.com\/the-chain-carrefour-makes-incremental-commitment-to-sustainable-beef-in-brazilian-state-of-mato-grosso\/\">a commitment of support from Carrefour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Looking forward<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While notable progress on the REDD+ front has been made over the last 6-12 months, the Global Forest Watch team at the REDDx conference will probably announce that deforestation for 2017 was still near record highs. More action is needed at all levels; perhaps more substantial actions will be highlighted at the <a href=\"http:\/\/globalclimateactionsummit.org\/land-stewardship\/\">upcoming Global Climate Action Summit<\/a> to be held in September.<\/p>\n<p>Most important to curbing deforestation and enhancing REDD+, however, is for the amount and scope of results payments to national governments to increase. These payments could come from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenclimate.fund\/documents\/20182\/820027\/GCF_B.18_06_-_Request_for_proposals_for_the_pilot_programme_for_REDD-plus_results-based_payments.pdf\/0691c547-110a-4bee-886b-084664326fe1\">Green Climate Fund\u2019s REDD+ results based payment Request For Proposals<\/a> or transactions from the FCPF\u2019s Carbon Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Until these payments start to flow in an efficient and methodologically consistent manner, it will be challenging to accelerate the necessary government-led actions and policy changes. REDDx in Oslo could provide an opportunity to hear how <em>we<\/em> can make this happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the biennial REDD Exchange (REDDx) conference in Oslo approaches, it is a good time to review the progress Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) has made over the last year.
