| Summary: | Governments, development
institutions, and the private sector are increasingly
turning to nature-based solutions to address the world’s
climate and biodiversity crisis. Countries, corporations,
and investors are increasingly looking to forest- and
land-based emission reduction programs (ERPs) to achieve
early mitigation gains while they develop longer-term
strategies and solutions to cut their greenhouse gas
emissions. Central to emerging natural climate solutions are
efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while
encouraging restoration, conservation, and sustainable use
of forests in developing countries. The Forest Carbon
Partnership Facility (FCPF), which became operational in
June 2008, is a global partnership focused on reducing
emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, forest
carbon stock conservation, the sustainable management of
forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+).
Communal land and forest tenure rights for Indigenous
Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) is critical for the
success of emission reduction program (ERP) implementation.
The remainder of this report is structured as follows.
Section 2 provides an overview of the analytical and
methodological approach of the study. Section 3 discusses
core findings about the nature and range of emergent
opportunities associated with efforts to advance,
strengthen, and leverage rights and presents the main
opportunities in six selected countries. Section 4 discusses
lessons learned and cross-cutting areas for further
development of rights recognition as a global process.
Section 5 provides a summary of the country profiles. |
