Slide 1 11 November 2011 International Forestry and Climate Research Knowledge Uptake Policy Practice Results

Slide 2 Afternoon Agenda 2– Why we are here 2.Emerging UK govt narratives, ICF, programmes 3.Emerging research/evidence challenges (vfm results, OUR results!) 4.Next steps in bridging gaps & working together

Slide 3 Why we are here Regular and effective working relationship between research, policy and practice Expectations Key gaps Mutual priorities Ways of working

Slide 4 UK’s International Climate Fund £2.9 billion ICF <20% to UK’s international forestry and climate initiative

Slide 5 The situation analysis Increasing pressure on forests Convergence in food, fuel, fibre markets Progress in tackling illegal logging Clear & secure rights key to reducing deforestation/ degradation Emerging market investors increasingly shape land and resource use with opportunities for small forest enterprises

Slide 6 UK government thinking Triple goals –Poverty, climate change, biodiversity Forest governance is a prerequisite for meeting the triple goals In and beyond forests Expand current work to other drivers: Illegal logging + other commodities Promoting public-private investment, green growth, Approaches underpinned by robust evidence; better knowledge uptake

Slide 7

Slide 8 3 lines of work under ICF Forestry Pillar 1.New 10 year forest governance markets and climate programme supporting governance and market reforms that reduce the illegal use of forest resources and benefit poor people in 10 countries 2.Under design - Promotion of forestry & land use investments for REDD+ 3.Uptake of knowledge and tools Nepal MSFP; Indonesia CCP

Slide 10 Forest Governance, Markets, Climate Not a single approach (1) Where governance is weak and illegality persistent –FLEGT VPAs A focus on legality and law enforcement that reinforces sovereignty Use the power of the market to change the dynamics of the debate Demand and supply side measures to help markets discriminate

Slide 11 The Charter of the Forests “Every freeman shall at his own pleasure provide agistment for his woodland in the forest and have his pannage.”

Slide 12 Forest Governance, Markets, Climate Not a single approach (2) Multi-stakeholder processes to tackle deep rooted governance problems; Coalitions of interest that sustain momentum Better evidence; Build awareness A formal legal framework ensures integrity of measures

Slide 13 Investing in better forestry and land use management UK REDD+ PWC report Targeted bilateral support to complement multilateral actions Tapping private sector potential A focus on countries with potential to make progress on REDD+ Continued support for better forest governance

Slide 14 Investing in? Agricultural drivers of deforestation? Degraded lands? Small and medium enterprises? Matching the right capital to the right investment opportunities – Modality?

Slide 15

Slide 16 Knowledge Uptake: Gaps Plethora, diversity of fragmented evidence & case studies; difficult for FL P&Ps to navigate Lack of aggregated & comparable evidence, systematically gathered Flows of international forestry project finance to specific geographic footprints; dispersed smaller, shorter projects QUERY – More limited finance to research& knowledge uptake Links between hard/soft; embodied/disembodied
