Potential Synergies between REDD+ vs. Roundtables: First Steps
![Page 5: Building Bridges Between Commodity Roundtables and REDD+ Connecting Farmers Needing Funding with Funds Needing Farmers Jan Maarten Dros 7 th REDD+ Platform](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e7f5503460f94b83812/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Proposal:
1. Research and Analysis
• Potential Impact on GHG Emissions?• Financial Instrument Innovation• Potential for greater alignment between RTs and REDD+
2. Link 8-10 Existing Supply Chain Projects with REDD Finance
• Schokland Fund Projects in REDD States (GCF) and Nations
3. Demonstration Projects
• 2-3 Large-Scale Bridging Projects, $10M-$50M• Brazil, Indonesia, one other nation

Roundtables on soy, palm oil, sugar cane
• Voluntary multistakeholder initiatives to regulate production practices, input use and expansion
• Industry, producers and NGOs as (voting) members• Strong buy-in multinationals (Coca Cola,
FrieslandCampina, Unilever, Shell, H&M, Wal-Mart)• Product standards and traceability with (third party)
verification and/or transparent self assessments• Mostly pre-competitive, B-to-B marketing, minimal
consumer communication foreseen
