REDD+
A sub-national pilot project in
CHIAPAS, MEXICO
Una REDD+ para Chiapas
• Mexico introduced the R-PIN to the World
Bank and its was adopted in July 2008.
• At national level, a multi-agency group begun
to work on REDD+ national strategy (R-PP
approved).
• This group promoted the initiative to
implement pilot projects for resolving the
challenges of the process.
Chiapas as Sub-national
Pilot project
• The Chiapas state was selected based on:
– Diversity of forest ecosystems (mangrove forest,
temperate forest);
– Has social and cultural diversity (coexistence of
different indigenous groups) with a complexity of
social relations and high vulnerability to climate
change.
– Existence of priority ecosystems (Rainforest), high
biodiversity and emblematic Mesoamerican species(
the quetzal, the peacock, the jaguar, etc.).
• For this reason the implementation of REDD + in
such a complex environment is challenging the
scientific, technical, social and political issues.
Una REDD+ para Chiapas
• Chiapas State Government:
– Secretaría de Medio Ambiente, Vivienda e Historia Natural del Estado
de Chiapas (SEMAVIHN)
• Mexico Federal Government:
– Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP)
– Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR)
– Corredor Biológico Mesoamericano en México (CBMM)
• Research institutes
– El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR)

The great value of the initiative of the group
“UNA REDD+ para Chiapas” is the effort and
the ability to make decisions by consensus
among different levels and sectors of
government, local and international
organizations for developing a more
comprehensive and participatory process, as
its evolve.
REDD+ strategies
• Safeguards: The success depends on increasing
the quality of life in communities as well as
conserve biodiversity and the ecosystems
services. And of full recognition of property rights
• Include the "+“: conservation of carbon stocks of
forests, sustainable management of forests and
increase carbon stocks of forests.
• Is a tool: REDD+ is a tool to promote sustainable
development and conservation of biodiversity
and not only to reduce carbon emissions into the
atmosphere.
Strategy components
• To strengthen and promote recognition of the
knowledge and experiences on resources
management developed by Ejidos and communities in
Chiapas.
• To promote communities full participation in the
REDD+.
• To build capacity and empower local organizations and
institutions.
• To inform specific recommendations to public policy
design and to adapt current frameworks.
• To design a monitor, report and verification (MRV)
system robust, reliable and cost-effective
Bottom up Strategy
Bottom up MRV
• At local level, the minimum scale of
application for REDD + is going to be
the community.
• Each community would has its own
baseline. This is possible because:
– Mexico have many satellite images.
– and have database of measurements of
C in different ecosystems.

7. Community monitoring
Sampling site
Conclusions
• Chiapas Sub-national Pilot Project is going to
provide lessons learned and methodologies to the
National Level.
• In Chiapas it has been developed a community
monitoring methodology that considers all of the
IPCC carbon stocks (tree biomass, herbaceous
biomass, litter, dead matter and soil) , associated
with the methodologies used in national
inventories of forests and soils.
• The monitoring process will be conducted by
community technicians. They will quantify their
carbon in the sampling sites.
Conclusion
• The community monitoring will help to:
– 1) reduce the uncertainty of the estimation via the
spectral interpretation of images, and calibrate algorithms
– 2) will build capacity in communities to enable them to
quantify and monitor data in real time the carbon stored
and captured in their fields, on a reliable way.
• This initiative will enable community participation in
the REDD + from the starting point and allow them to
take control of monitoring their own resources.
• They will also be owners of the information generated
and therefore will have elements for local decisionmaking to manage their production systems within a
policy to REDD +.
