Philippine-German Technical Cooperation under Germany's International Climate Initiative

Preparation of a National REDD+ Mechanism for Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Conservation of

Biodiversity in the Philippines

– National REDD+ System Philippines –

Project Summary

- Activities in Mindanao -

REDD+ - what is it all about?Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation +

conservation of forest carbon stocks = protection

sustainable management of forests = management

enhancement of forest carbon stocks = rehabilitation

Co-benefits:

Livelihoods Biodiversity conservation Ecosystem services

DENR, relevant government agencies, local government units and local communities/indigenous peoples in the Philippines use a national framework for implementation of REDD+, based on ecological and social safeguards, to reduce GHG emissions and to achieve co-benefits of biodiversity conservation and livelihoods improvement.

Project implemented in cooperation with DENR, NCIP, CCC, LGUs, local communities and IP/ICCs

Project Objective

Functional structures for registration, coordination and governance of REDD+ in the Philippines, incl. social, ecological and governance safeguards, and tested options for financing and benefit-sharing are in place

By 2017 REDD+ pilot implementation in at least 3 areas, based on forest land use planning, clear tenure and conservation arrangements, have generated at least 100.000 t CO2 emissions reduction and removals

Project results have been incorporated into reviews, decisions and resolutions at national and international level; and independent surveys show an increase of knowledge and awareness on REDD+ and its co-benefits

Project Indicators

1. Establishment of a national implementation and coordination system for REDD+

2. Development of financing / benefit-sharing mechanisms for REDD+

3. Integration of ecological, social and governance standards (safeguards) in implementation of REDD+

4. REDD+ implementation in selected areas

5. Awareness building, information and knowledge management
