Policy – knowledge –practiceDifferent levels – Project, Subnational, National, International

2015 – special here for people and our planet17 SDGs – universal goals (Leave no one behind)

Inclusive development for all

Delivering on the targets is crucial

Climate change commitments should include: • Reduce emissions ‘to stay safe’

• Drive the demand for reduced emissions in developing countries

• International and domestic demand

• Sustainable development path – cleaner energy, industry and sustainable land use

• Financing – reaching where change can happen

4



Objectives – questions we will be discussing • How REDD+ is

unfolding at national and subnational level

• How will strategy options for REDD+ affect men and women

• Setting the baseline – do we really know how? Can we do it in a cost effective way?

• Is testing REDD+ delivering the expected results? Can intervention be scaled? Where will the money come from?

• Closing the finance gap and greening the supply chains –is private sector living to expectations and commitments?

5



Output: Key messages for COP 21On gender and who stands to lose or gain from REDD+

On REDD+ delivery models, scaling up

On the metrics, setting ambitions levels and monitoring

On role of players including private sector

On REDD+ financing

Session 1 REDD+ and gender: why and how?

Multiple resources, multiple uses and users – Explore nexus drivers –commodities -gender

7



Research questions• How do men and women respond to policies as

drivers of change in land use and forest cover ?

• What do men and women gain from the current land uses?

• Change in land use practices requires incentives or performance based payment mechanism – what are the men and women’s preferences to different incentives and benefits of sustainable environment and land uses?

8



Analytical framework

Gender and

generation

Rights

Equity

Power

Setting

the scene at national level

Provisions and practices:

Access – valuable and productive

assets (land, forests and carbon),

Control, inheritance

Statutory Customary

Representation in decision making (national and local level) - InfluenceParticipation in sustainable enterprises

Drivers, commodities, value chain actors and net benefits

9



How will men and women be affected by the REDD+ strategy options?

What are the trade-offs between income and carbon benefits? What are the potential net gains (for men and women) from adoption of action that will mitigate impacts of environmental and climate change?

Summary of REDD+ and gender

Testing REDD+ in the Beira landscape corridor

• £1.9 mil

• September 2012-December 2015 (now August 2016), leverage additional funding to consolidate and upscale

Sustainable investments – the premise

Premium – carbon credits/PES

Incremental production

Current production level

The change in current towards more efficient,

more productive, sustainable and climate friendly

land use practices have to be

profitable to the land user

Carbon credits and other PES should provide the land user

with an additional premium for

adopting sustainability in their business

Private sector REDD+• Who, why, what, where, scale, investments, rights

and benefit sharing• Africa, Asia and Latin America

• Case studies of private sector REDD+ – drivers, actors, rights and benefit sharing

• DRC, Mozambique and Tanzania

• Offsetting vs insetting – how is private sector integrating zero deforestation commitments?

• Ghana and Brazil
