    Land and forest tenure reform to support REDD+ implementation 2018

    Land and forest tenure systems greatly influence a country’s ability to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. Clear and legitimate tenure rights over forests can provide an incentive to manage forests sustainably and simultaneously reduce deforestation and forest degradation. In fact, communities and stakeholders with secure tenure rights have a strong interest in investing time and resources to maintain and enhance the natural capital under a long-term vision. Identifying and recognizing legitimate tenure rights, including customary and collective ones, also strengthens accountability, and it is essential for the success of REDD+.

    From reference levels to results reporting – REDD+ under the UNFCCC 2017
    Also available in:

    For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forest sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This publicatio n provides a status report on progress and achievements related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as an update on activities related to countries’ submissions of their Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). The report also summarizes experiences with the technical assessment process, as of early 2017, and offers an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and technical analyses of those reports. Highlights of this report include measures that show a strong uptake of FREL/FRLs among tropical forest countries. FREL/FRLs which have already been submitted involve many of the countries with the largest forest areas, and cover vast amounts of emissions from their forest sectors. There is also progress in areas that are not as easy to quantify: for example, an unprecedented level of transparency has been achieved concerning countries’ forest-sector data and information, thanks to data reporting in the context of REDD+.

    Also available in:

    Les régimes fonciers des terres et des forêts influencent grandement la capacité d’un pays à réduire la déforestation et la dégradation des forêts. Des droits fonciers clairs sur des forêts peuvent constituer une motivation pour la gestion durable et la conservation des forêts, puisque les détenteurs de droits fonciers sécurisés ont un fort intérêt à préserver la ressource. Identifier et reconnaitre des droits fonciers légitimes, y compris des droits fonciers coutumiers, renforce la responsabili té et est essentiel pour réussir la Réduction des Emissions dues à la Déforestation et à la Dégradation des Forêts (REDD+).
