Japanese ODA can divide into two ways.
One is Bilateral cooperation and the other is multilateral. Multilateral way is to contribute to international organization, such as UN or World Bank.
As for Bilateral cooperation,
Our business consists of Grant Aid and Japanese Yen Loan.
Technical cooperation can be classified as Grant Aid.
Not only simple grant but also capacity development through dispatch of experts and training program , is important .

Almost amount of Yen loan was mainly implemented in India.
By the project under these three schemes, JICA contributed to conserve twelve million ha of forest and six million ha of protected area, approximately.

4. JICA’s Strategic Plan 2015 - 2020 in the Nature Conservation Sector
JICA designed “Strategic plan from 2015 to 2020 in the nature conservation sector” at the end of last year.
So let me explain the plan briefly.

5. UNFCCC UNCCD UNCBD Goal & Strategic Objectives
Overall Goal of JICA
Harmonization between Nature Conservation and Human Activities
Four Strategic Objectives of JICA
Sustainable Forest Management against Climate Change
Ecosystem (including forest) -based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR)
Sustainable Use of Natural Resources to Improve Livelihoods of Vulnerable
Community
Biodiversity Conservation through Management of Protected Areas/ Buffer Zones
The overall goal of JICA is “Harmonization between Nature Conservation and Human Activities”.
Under the goal, we put four Strategic objectives.
Sustainable Forest management against climate change, Ecosystem based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR), Sustainable use of Natural Resources to improve livelihoods of vulnerable community, and Biodiversity Conservation through Management of protected areas or buffer zones.
As the related global initiative, there are UNFCCC, UNCCD, and UNCBD.
under UNFCCC, there are 2 countermeasures, which are Mitigation and Adaption.
REDD+ is for Mitigation, Eco-DRR is for Adaptation.

Sustainable Use of Natural Resources to Improve Livelihoods of Vulnerable
Community
Biodiversity Conservation through Management of Protected Areas/Buffer Zones
To strengthen “Readiness of REDD+ (MRV, Pilot activity etc.)” in tropical countries
To collaborate with private sector in carbon business & CSR
To improve livelihood activities in vulnerable community of Arid or Semi-arid countries thorough sustainable manner.
For Sustainable Forest Management, our approach is mainly two ways:
To strengthen “Readiness of REDD+ in tropical countries
To collaborate with private sector in carbon business & Corporate Social Responsibility
To introduce appropriate methodology to mitigate Natural Disaster (Watershed Management, Costal Protection)
To introduce mechanism such as PES(Payment for Eco-System)
To improve management of Protected Area and Buffer zone through collaborative management
To introduce mechanism such as PES

13. JICA’s Cooperation for REDD+ Initiative
Then Let me introduce our cooperation for REDD+ initiative.

14. Categories of REDD+ Projects
1. Policy & institutional reform + capacity development
2. Measurement of forest resources (RELs/MRV)
Satellite image analysis & ground truth
3. Research
Carbon dynamics
Regarding REDD+ project, it is categorized four categories,
policy & institutional reform plus capacity development,
measurement of forest resources,
research,
and demonstration activities on project sites.
4. Demonstration activities on sites
Zoning & demarcation, participatory forest- and land management, patrol, livelihood improvement, etc.

15. Biodiversity conservation Livelihood improvement
Key principle for addressing REDD+
Important primarily for addressing Climate Change, but maximizing multiple benefits through REDD+ is no less important than Climate Change.
Water supply
Ecotourism
Through these cooperation, primarily importance is for addressing climate change,
but maximizing multiple benefits through REDD+ is no less important than climate change,
such us biodiversity conservation, water supply, development of ecotourism, erosion control, or livelihood improvement.
Biodiversity conservation
Livelihood improvement
Erosion control

16. Major areas of cooperation (1)

in Peat-forests (Indonesia)
We are also trying to enhance research and development capacities.

19. Issues and Challenges
More coordination with donors and international organisation necessary for co-financing and avoiding duplication
More coordination with several government departments related to REDD+ in a country
Introducing advanced technology such as remote sensing and GIS database for forest monitoring (MRV) and setting RELs
More responsibilities for us to involve community for appropriate manner as well as for community to conserve forest
Securing Fund for REDD+ Implementation, particularly up-front resources
[Potential of Financial Resource]
- Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM; Japanese Government)
- Global Climate Fund (GCF; UN)
- Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF; World Bank)
These are the major issues and challenges for REDD+ project.
It is required more coordination with donors and international organization for co-financing and avoiding duplication.
Some of the countries divided to several departments related to REDD+, so coordination in the government is required.
To proceed REDD+ activities, sophisticated technology and community involvement are also needed.
As the final point, for REDD+ implementation, securing fund, particularly up-front resources is quite important.
As you know, REDD+ under UNFCCC is basically result-based payment, therefore it is necessary securing the financial resources.
There are some of potential financial resources, like JCM by Japanese government, GCF by UN, FCPF by world bank.
In addition, Yen-loan by JICA is also one of the financial resources.

20. What is Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) ?
• Japanese government is promoting the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) as a potential mitigation measure.
• The JCM facilitates diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, and infrastructure as well as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributes to sustainable development of developing countries.
(Quoted from Website of Ministry of Environment of Japan)
• 12 countries which have signed bilateral documents for the JCM:
Mongolia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Maldives, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia,
Costa Rica, Palau, Cambodia and Mexico (as of March 2015)
Let me explain about JCM briefly.
Under JCM scheme, Japan-leading low carbon technologies will be introduced to developing countries, while MRV methodologies will be developed under bilateral framework, then carbon credit occurred by the project will be used to achieve Japan’s emission reduction target.
At present, 12 countries signed bilateral document. I understand Japan is negotiating India’s participation currently.
Under JCM scheme, REDD+ is currently demonstration stage, and methodology’s guideline will be finalised soon.
* REDD+ is currently demonstration stage. Meanwhile, the Guidelines for Developing Proposed Methodology for REDD+ will be finalized soon.

21. JCM Demonstration for REDD+
On 2014, REDD+ demonstration studies were implemented three countries, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Indonesia by Japanese Government.
Japanese government is going to proceed demonstration study in few countries this year also.
