  1. SilvaMed (Co-) Financing CC Measures in Forestry Planning Workshop Istanbul Sept. 2010 G. Winckler EcoStrat

  2. (2) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry • So far the conventional financing mechanisms (including ODA) for forestry have proven insufficient, particularly regarding additional costs for CC • In contrast, new sources and mechanisms specifically for financing CC-related activities in forestry have increased considerably • New opportunities for financing have been created in the frame of multilateral conventions and environmental agreements, but also by bilateral cooperation and NGOs • The access to these sources of financing is complicated (different regulations and access criteria have created confusion) EcoStrat

  3. (3) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry • Only a few of these new sources have a considerable potential: • the funds managed by GEF • the initiatives of the World Bank, UNEP and FAO • the awareness creating and training initiatives of NGOs, • the financial sources and capacity building opportunities offered by some bilateral donors (for ex. the new “REDD plus” Partnership) EcoStrat

  4. (4) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry The “REDD plus” Partnership (1) Pledges (May 2010): 4.0.billion USD from: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA: An interim voluntary, non-legally binding platform in anticipation of UNFCCC process • To scale up REDD+ action & finance by immediate action • Enhance building of capacity for mitigation and adaptation and creation of an enabling environment • Facilitate knowledge transfer 43 participating countries EcoStrat

  5. (5) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry The “REDD plus” Partnership (2) Partnership principles: • Open for all countries willing to become part of partnership • Focused on performance-based REDD+ activities including capacity building and enabling environment • Enhancing exchange of lessons learnt and knowledge transfer • Seeking to ensure economic, social and environmental sustainability and enhance social benefits EcoStrat

  6. (6) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry General conclusions: Most funds are performance-oriented. They expect from countries an enabling environment for successful investment in SFM and CC-related measures, including • Coherent financing strategies based on analysis of CC vulnerability • Inter-sectoral approaches • Enforcement of laws and regulations • Secure forest-land tenure • Coherent land-use planning • Participation of stakeholders • A system of payments for environmental services (PES) • A monitoring system EcoStrat

  7. (7) SilvaMedFinancing CC in Forestry Recommendations: • Countries wanting to get access to financing (part. REDD ”Plus” ) should give priority to broad policy reforms to reduce deforestation • “REDD Readiness”: financing strategies, law enforcement, secure forest-land tenure, land-use planning, inter-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approaches, analysis and responses to CC vulnerabilities • The big 5 “R”: “REDD Readiness Requires Radical Reforms” • External (CPMF) partners should give support to: • facilitate the access of member countries to the different instruments and mechanisms of financing • help create the necessary enabling conditions at country level EcoStrat
