1 CFE in Tropical Forest Countries, ITTO, Forest Trends and RRI Alternative Financing Model for Sustainable Management in the Colombia CARMENZA ROBLEDO Intercooperation/EMPA 25/07/2007 1

2 Project region: Watershed of 2 hidroelectric dams

3 P r o y e c t o A l t er nat i v o p ar a el Manejo Sost enible de los ha declared for conservation More than families 90% Private owned, mostly small farmers ha as forests apt

4 Project partners Design phase ( ) Autonomous Regional Corporation for the Rionegro - Nare Region (CORNARE) Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Testing and Research (EMPA) International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO): Funding agency Intercooperation: Technical backstopping on behalf of seco State Secretariat for Economic Affairs from Switzerland (seco): Mayor donor

5 Project Rationale Test a methodology for the Financing of long-term Sustainable Management of Forests (SMF) Knowledge and Technologies for the Sustainable Management of Forests (SMF) CDM (reforestation y afforestation) National and international investors in SMF Participative decision making process

6 Social Component During the design phase Through a Regional Forum (including( public and private sectors,, civil society) Information and capacity buiding Exchange and formulation of project activities Decision Making (through concertation) During the implementation Monitoring and Verification Plan Definition of social and environmental C&I

7 Results of Phase I Integrated Forest Development Plan for the region Includes products and services, as well as socio- economic elements CDM component (reforestation) Non-CDM component (forest conservation and forest restoration/rehabilitation) Investment and Financing Plan NTFP and TFP CERs, VERs Promotion of social and institutional alliances to facilitate implementation of the management plan Corporation MASBOSQUES: farmers, local industry, government, research institutions, church Land tenure Ownership of ES Agreed through the Regional Forum

8 Outputs from Phase I Creation of the MASBOSQUES Corporation Financial instruments and trust fund Forests inventory and forest management plan Socio-economic characterization CDM documentation: PDD, Carbon quantification study, MVP Risk management strategy Market analysis for timber and NTFP Training and participation 83 of the local community

9 Financial Instruments for Environmental Services Payments Certified Emission Reductions (CER) Verified Emission Reductions (VER) Kyoto eligible Kyoto non-eligible Environmental shares (ES) Other environmental services Environmental and Social Recognition (ESR) Corporate PR Managed by the legally installed Corporation that incorporates GOs (municipalities and the department), enterpreneurs, NGOs and the land-owners Establishment of a trust fund

10 Kyoto Eligible Land Secondary bushes Pastures Managed pastures Permanent crops Annual crops

11 Current land use (baseline( baseline) Highland zone Extensively managed pastures Intensively managed pastures (seeded and fertilized) Croplands (permanent and annual) Lowland zone Extensively managed pastures Croplands (permanent and annual)

12 CDM eligible project activities 1 Silvopastoril system Alnus acuminata + Persea americana 6 Forest plantation systems Alnus acuminata, Persea americana, Guadua angustifolia, Pinus tecunumannii, Pinus ocarpa, Acacia mearnsii, and others 6 Agroforesty systems Various combinations including timber, citrus and other fruit trees, platano, corn, beans, yuca, coffee, sugar cane,, etc.

13 Actvities non-eligible for CDM (Voluntary markets) Rehabilitation of degraded forests with native species Forest conservation activites Harvesting and processing of NTFP and selected timber products

14 Carbon Quantification Overall result Total carbon offsets (project) tc 800, , , , , , , , Year

15 Monitoring and Verification Plan Aimed to be transparent, accurate and participative Includes CDM and non-cdm eligible activities Includes a set C&I on environmental and socio-economic impacts designed with the community Includes leakages and other GHG emissions Make possible the verification of the calculations for the C modelling Define activities for quality control

16 Hilfe2 Getting into the markets of Ecosystem Services. Experiences from the San Nicolás Project in Colombia Phase II 25/07/

17 Slide 16 Hilfe2 Diese Folie enthält zwei Mastergruppen (Master und Titelmaster), welche den Corporate-Design-konformen Auftritt definieren. Der jetzt zugewiesene Empa-Master 1 sieht für die Titelfolie das Empa-Logo vor. Den weiteren Folien ist kein Logo zugewiesen. Für längere Vorträge mit Zwischentiteln empfehlen wir, den Folien mit Zwischentiteln den Empa-Master 2 (mit Logo unten rechts) zuzuweisen. Dazu öffnen Sie via Ansicht > Aufgabenbereich > Foliendesign-Entwurfsvorlage rechts die Masterauswahl. Nun markieren Sie im linken Ansichtsfenster die Folien, denen Empa-Master 2 zugewiesen werden soll (mindestens zwei, ansonsten für den ganzen Satz Empa-Master 1 verwendet wird). Weitere Hilfe erhalten Sie bei Monika Ernst, 4995 (Empa, Dübendorf) M. Ernst, 2/4/2005

18 Phase I ( ) Overall development planning (covering social, institutional and forestry aspects) Instruments for participation and participatory decision-making Carbon sequestration: CDM component: reforestation (plantations, agroforestry and sylvo-pastoral) VERs: : from activities in non-eligible land for CDM Phase II ( ) Continuing social and institutional approach Focus on conservation and restoration

19 Phase II

20 Which Ecosystems?

21 Which services? C Sequestration Regulation of microclimate Food production Wood production Resilience to disturbances Water regulation (quantity) Water offer (Quantity and quality) Control of erosion Soil formation Soil fertilization Polinization Biological control Species habitat Species diversity Production/conservation of genetic resources Recreation Cultural activities Resolved in Phase 1: Regulation of the hydrologic cycle Soil conservation CERs and VERs TFP and NTFP Conservation of biological diversity Conservation of cultural habitat (incl. scenic beauty)

22 A Way to Marketable Products 1. Define the forestry activities for ensuring or increasing ecosystem services Conservation of forest biodiversity Restoration according to its objective 2. Define units that are clear for all market actors: e.g farmers, buyers, institutions responsible for legal framework Area per activity Days/hours (recreation/relaxing/cultural activities) 3. Define potential buyers 4. Define the marketable product (according also the potential buyer) Environmental Shares Ecotourism

23 Potential Buyers Global Local Direct users of the ecosystem service Farmers (polinization( polinization), Energy company (water for energy generation) Indirect users of the ecosystem service Urban population (regulation of quantity and quality of water) Global population Ethics Less regulation More regulation

24 Potential Buyers

25 Is there any market? (BINDING) AGREEMENTS Local- National : e.g. Agreement 016/98 Law on Retributions for watershed conservation Bilateral MASBOSQUES Projects Buyers? MARKET PLACE Services providers Global: e.g. UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol Others Institutions

26 Next Challenges Approval of the CDM methodology Validation of the CDM component Impacts of the new Forest Law Setting the prices: PES are complementary to other income sources Completing (bilateral) negotiations Improving enabling conditions Outside the project: legal agreements for taxes and subsidies Within the project: Empowering MASBOSQUES as a representative of the local community Ensuring sustainability Maintenance of planting and management agreements Providing/using adequate management practices How to ensure long-term, adequate payments? Which are the best mechanisms for redistribution? Do we need to think also about penalties and liabilities and not only about incentives?
