1 Overview of REDD Project Cycle Richard McNally Pro Poor REDD Project Launch, Dalat 12/01/2010

2 Contents 1. REDD Projects? 2. Steps in the Project cycle 3. Some Key tasks

3 1. REDD Projects REDD viewed as cost effective way to produce CERs high interest from buyers: Copenhagen Accord [REDD a priority] Voluntary Carbon Standard REDD guidance Climate Action Reserve [avoided conversion] However after COP 15 unclear compliance markets and REDD Voluntary markets already exist Common in many countries (e.g. Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia etc) Future: bring together voluntary and compliance markets (nested approach)

4 REDD Projects differ from traditional ODA Forest Projects: Potentially much larger source of financing Implementation horizon of 20 to 100 years Requires ongoing, active management, with consequences for under-performance Create a legal asset with an economic value a potentially tradable carbon credits which must represent real, measurable tons of carbon

5 2. The Project Phases Project phases don t always have concrete start and end points; deliverables at each stage Various inputs (time, funding, or expertise) are required at specific points of the process Project Idea Project Design Project start up & implementation Validation and registration ti Verification

6 1. Project Idea Project Idea Note (PIN) or concept note Identify project area: Geographic boundaries of activities? Private or public land? Is land eligible for carbon project? Identify potential partners: Landowners, communities, partner NGOs, etc. Examine legal feasibility: Who owns CO2 credits? Is project allowed under national law? What are the requirements to implement? Begin stakeholder engagement: What groups will be affected? Determine preliminary feasibility: Can the project work?

7 Identification of goals and objectives Biodiversity priorities, social benefits, emissions reductions Workshops and partner meetings, 1-2 months Costs: Travel and logistics Legal feasibility Project Idea Secure land tenure? Carbon rights? Legal Partnership structure framework for PES? Definition of roles, Lawyer, Consultancy or responsibilities, NGO financial agreements Costs: Consultant fees Project leader and partners 2-6 months Costs: Travel, meetings, lawyers Project Idea Initial community and landowner consultations Landowners and local government receptive to project? Costs: Travel, meetings Fundraising from donors and partners Background information compilation Bio-geophysical info, site information, socioeconomic analysis Costs: Staff time, consultant fees Project Design

8 Some key issues Project Idea Fundraising is important during the early stages of project: e.g. development agencies (ODA), traditional conservation donors, and early-stage investors Government G interaction i is important during this stage to ensure buy-in and support: National or state laws may need clarification to proceed Compiling background information early is important to developing concept notes and proposals p for funding: Funders increasingly want to see realistic carbon calculations early in the investment phase and stakeholder buy-in

9 Project Design 2. Project Design Document (PDD) Define activities and interventions: How will the project protect standing forests? partner role? Determine expected emissions reductions: What carbon pools will be measured? How often? Consult with local communities and stakeholders: What are the social and environmental impacts? How will the project respond to stakeholder concerns? Analyze the financial costs and legal issues: What are the up-front costs and what are the expected financial flows over the life of the project? What agreements must be signed?

10 Carbon baseline analysis Forest and land stratification, biomass plots Forestry consultant 3-6 months Costs: Consultant fees Project Design Spatial land use analysis Site boundary, deforestation analysis GIS and remote sensing capacity, 6-12 months Costs: Data, images, consultancy Activities definition Species selection, planting plans, alternative livelihood activities Forestry expertise, community engagement Project Design Document (PDD) Integration of project and baseline pieces Costs: Consultant or partner Experienced consultant costs, travel and meetings Cost: Consultant fees Financial planning should commence early & is an ongoing process during the project design phase. Developing legal agreements with partners solidifies partner commitments & expectations. Fundraising from donors and investors Project methodology selection and application Selection or development of methodology, calculation of ERs, monitoring plans Consultant; 6-18 months Implementatio n

11 Project Design Document j g Could follow VCS, CAR, (not CDM) standards; Project Design What are the expected GHG benefits of the project? How will they be estimated, and how will they be monitored after implementation? Where exactly will the project take place? Is the project truly additional? What social and environmental impacts (intentional What social and environmental impacts (intentional or unintentional) might the project bring about?

12 Some Key Issues Project Design Financial planning led by the project catalyst, but will involve close interaction with many project partners (funders, potential carbon buyers, communities, etc.) Legal agreements signed with partners formalize relationships and creates long term commitments Community and stakeholder meetings are the most important aspect to a project s long term success Baseline work, application of methodology, and PDD development often carried out by same group Spatial analysis, including REDD baselines, requires experience in remote sensing

13 3. Validation Project and registration validated Third-party auditor will determine: Has the project used an appropriate methodology? Has it been applied correctly? Have the appropriate steps been followed? Have stakeholders been consulted? Have local laws been upheld? Is the project calculating its expected emissions reductions correctly? Has the baseline been determined correctly? Is the number of expected ERs correct?

14 4. Implementation Trees planted or forests protected Sign and implement all landowner and partner agreements: lease land, negotiate site protection or maintenance contracts, government agreements Implement project activities: Implement forest protection activities Patrolling or monitoring, fire prevention, Conservation Incentive Agreements, etc. Design alternative livelihood and community benefit activities Monitor project impacts Monitor deforestation rates in project site Monitor and mitigate leakage Monitor Social and ecological impacts

15 Community engagement and education Capacity building (project basics and activityspecific) Project partners, community groups, and local government Costs: Meetings, trainings, travel Validation Validation by standard (CDM, VCS, CCBA) Approved DOE (auditor) 2-4 months Cost: Consultant fees Implementation Monitoring underway Indicators and variables and data protocols selected, data collected Project developer and partners monitor for the life of project Implementation Legal agreements in place Landowner and government agreements, carbon marketing and sales contracts, and benefit sharing structure Stakeholders and partners Cost: Staff and legal time Carbon marketing and sales Project activities A/R: Nursery construction, seed collection, site preparation REDD: Activities to address D+D, community livelihoods Verification Demonstrate compliance with standard and project design Approved DOE (auditor) 2-4 months Cost: XXX

16 Some Key Issues Implementation Project start up can begin slightly before validation, but activities and locations need to be fixed as early as possible. Once a project is validated, changes are harder or more expensive to make If communities do not see an immediate benefit, interest in project will fade quickly - Alternative livelihoods activities must begin at the same time, or prior to, forest protection activities - Requires up-front funding (prior to any carbon revenues) to implement any alternatives - Capacity building is important for communities Legal agreements regarding financial issues (carbon Legal agreements regarding financial issues (carbon marketing, revenue and benefits sharing, etc) should be reached as early as possible to avoid misunderstandings

17 5. Verification Project implemented properly and emissions reductions achieved Third-party verifier (auditor) will determine: Has the project been implemented according to the project design and methodology? Did the project do what it said it would? Has monitoring occurred as planned? Quantity of real emissions reductions? Leakage monitored and/or mitigated? What social and environmental impacts (expected or unexpected) have occurred mitigated? Have the benefits been realized? Negative impacts mitigated?

18 Project Phase Time required Project Idea 1-2 months ndraisin ng Fu Mar rketing Project Design Validation and Registration Implementation 6-18 months 6 months Life of project = 30+ years Annual Monitoring & Verification (every 5 yrs) 6 months

19 A hypothetical project structure - relationships of partners and deliverables NGO Partner 1 Marketing of carbon credits Financial management GIS work Field biomass Consultant Many moving parts Project developer agency 2 Partners and responsibilities (catalyst) are inter-dependent Government Project requires clear understanding and strong Legal consultant or agreements NGO partner 3 Legal analysis NGO partner Capacity building and communication DOE (auditor) Methodology and PDD Government agency 1 Community Validation

20 3. Some Key Tasks 1) Remote Sensing (Quyen) 2) Forest Inventory and Carbon Stock Assessment (Viet anh) 3) Policies and Measures (Tim) 4) Community Initiatives (Essam, James)
