What is JICA ?
• Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is the implementing agency of bilateral‐based development assistance policies of Government of Japan (GoJ).
• Implementing some initiatives related to the three Conventions (Climate Change, Biodiversity and Desertification) and to the ‘Statement on Forests’ coming out of UNCED is also its mandate.

JICA’s Global Contribution – Climate Change and Forest2016-2018

JICA’s Participation in Cambodia• Protection of wildlife habitats significantly contributes to “sustainable forest management”,
“biodiversity conservation” and “reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation”.
• Protected areas/forests had been somewhat fragmented.
• There are four principle forest landscapes with various protected areas/forests in Cambodia:– Eastern Plains– Northern Plains– Cardamom Mountain Range– Prey Long
• There are more diversified landscapes– Inundated forests– Intertidal zones– Inland waters and Rivers
• JICA has been supporting various initiatives at the policy/planning and field levels:– National Forest Programme (NFP)– Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+)

WCS saves wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and by inspiring people to value nature.
WCS is a global conservation NGO, based in the USA

Emission Reductions and Safeguards – VCS/CCBA Accredited
Project performance as verified by an independent auditor found that the REDD+ project has resulted in over 13,000 hectares of avoided deforestation. This is the difference of the orange (predicted business as usual deforestation) compared to red (measured with-project deforestation).
This results in 14.7 million tonnes CO2 equivalent of avoided emissions.10% is placed in a communal Verra ‘risk buffer’ account.
So 13.1 million tonnes are available for sale.

To date the project has generated $2.9m USD of carbon revenue supporting conservation activities
Revenue is used to manage the protected area, REDD+ activities, and shared with communities living in and
around KSWS

~41% of Cambodia’s forests are within this protected
area network
Nearly 100% of Cambodia’s remaining intact forests
PA management is the single most effective way to reduce emissions from deforestation

Annual Emission Reductions national REDD+ (based on 2015, 2016): ~40 mtCO2e per year
Annual Emission Reductions of current site‐based REDD+ estimate: ~3 mtCO2e per year
Will this compete with Results Based Payments or NDC commitments?

Summary
• Historical efforts and collaboration between relevant institutions of Royal Government of Cambodia/stakeholders and WCS together with various development partners including JICA result in significant emission reduction of GHG.
• REDD+, protection of wildlife and its habitats and social safeguards are mutually supportive.
• Paris Agreement‐based national REDD+ approaches encourage integration of efforts in Eastern Plains.
