Reducing Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Brazil

½ of Europe could fits in the Amazon territory. 5 million Km 2 22 million inhabitants 220 different indigenous groups / 180 languages The Amazon Region Deforestation in the Amazon 2

Still, 85% forest Deforestation in the Amazon 3

But, we lost 15% in 30 years Deforestation in the Amazon 4

Emissions of 1 billion ton CO ,151 km 2 21,204 km 2 27,429 km 2 5

144 actions in three strategies: Land Tenure and Territory Planning Environmental Monitoring and Control Incentives to Sustainable Production March 2004 – Action Plan to Prevent and Control Deforestation in the Amazon Led by the President’s Cabinet involving 11 Ministries Action Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control in the Amazon 6

,030 km ,151 km 2 21,204 km 2 18,793 km Action Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control in the Amazon 27,429 km km km

Main Chalenge Make foret more valuable than the alternative use of land Goal Reduce deforestation 80% by 2020 in relation to the average deforestation between Plano de Prevenção e Controle do Desmatamento na Amazônia Objective Consistently and continuously decrease deforestation and stop loss of forest cover.

Brazilian Government is committed to invest US$ 500 million between 2008 and 2011 in the Combat of Deforestation and Promote Sustainable Forestry There is a need of much more resources and incentives for REDD can be a excellent opportunity mobilize resources to face this challenge Action Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control in the Amazon 9

Transform the reduction emissions from deforestation into a system to fund the conservation and sustainable use of forests Promote a initiative that demonstrates the viability of a large scale mechanism for incentives to reduce deforestation emissions Amazon Fund 10

Purpose of the Amazon Fund Amazon Fund Private Fund to Invest in actions from government and non-government organizations to control e combat deforestation and to promote the conservation and sustainable use of forests including: - Protected Areas and Public Forests - Environmental monitoring and control - Combat of Illegal logging - Sustainable Forest Management - Biodiversity Conservation - Reforestation and Restoration of Forest Ecosystem Invest on monitoring systems in other tropical forestry countries and other biomas in Brazil. (up to 20% of the funds) 11

Principles Consistent and simple Low transactional cost Based in real reduced emissions Participatory Amazon Fund

Quantification of Reduced Emissions CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO AVOID MONITORING AND COUNTING COMPLEXITY Emissions = Deforested Area (ha) x TonC/ha Deforested Area = Satellite Monitoring Methodology (PRODES) TonC/ha = below minimum reference value in the literature ( 120 to 350 tonC/ha)  project will use 100 tonC/ha EMISSIONS ESTIMATES

T TD AVERAGE DEFORESTATION RATE Quantification of Reduced Emissions Using 10 years average ADR revised every 5 years Year of ReferencePeriod for ADF calculation ADF 2006 to to 20051,95 million ha 14

DEFORESTATION ABOVE THE AVERAGE RATE If deforestation rate in the reference year is higher than the average rate, the Government: Quantification of Reduced Emissions TD T 2006 TDMédia Will not be able raise funds in that year Will have to compensate the reduction in the following year 15

ADR – 1,95 million hectares DRY (2006) – 1,40 million hectares RED = (1.95 – 1.40 mi ha) * 100 TonC/ha RED = 55 million TonC 200 million Ton of CO2 REDUCED EMISSIONS ESTIMATE Example for the first year (2006) Quantification of Reduced Emissions 16

CONTRIBUTORS GOVERNMENTS COMPANIES NON GOVERNAMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS MULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONS INDIVIDUALS Raising Funds US$ 5,00 of contribution equivalent to the support for the achieved reduction of one Ton of CO2 17

Governance Steering Commitee (24) – define guidelines and criteria for fund apliacaton - Federal Governmet - Amazon State Governments - NGOs, Indigenous People, Business Sector and Scientists Fund hosted and managed by BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) Annual independent audit of the application of the funds Amazon Fund 18 Techinical Commitee (6) – atest the avoided emissions

Action Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control in the Amazon Rules of the game must be taken with full participation but decision on the funds specific allocation must be based on objective criteria or on a independent and transparent process Fundraising based on achieved results is very powerful – internally and externally Make funds complementary to local/regional/national budgets, not a substitution A robust but fully transparent forest monitoring is crucial to build the credibility with stakeholders and supporters The key variable is area of forest … not carbon Lessons learned with finance mechanism
