Building REDD-plus Policy Capacity
for Developing Country Negotiators and Land Managers
Hanoi, Vietnam, 18-20 May 2011
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (international
context)
A. REDD+ from Montreal to Cancun :
 COP-13 (Dec.1/CP. 13 “Bali Action Plan: Policy approaches and
positive incentives for REDD+ /Paragraph 1 (b) (iii)”; Dec.2/CP.13
“RED in developing countries: Approach to stimulate actions”)
 COP-15 (Dec. 4/CP.15 “Methodological guidance for REDD+ in
developing countries”)
 COP-16 (Dec.1/CP.16 “Cancun agreements: Outcomes of AWGLCA work ”  Policy approaches and positive incentives for REDD+
in developing countries)
B. NAMAs : from Bali to Cancun :
 Dec.1/CP. 13 “Bali Action Plan (NAMAs/Paragraph 1 (b) (ii)”
 Dec.1/CP.16 “Cancun agreements : outcomes of AWG-LCA work ”
C. REDD+ negotiation  almost all developing countries did not
agree to include REDD+ under NAMAs.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (national context)
A. NAMAs : Indonesia Voluntary Mitigation Action
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions
Emission Reduction
1. Sustainable peatland management,
2. Reduction in rate of deforestation and land
degradation,
3. Development of sequestration projects in forestry and
agriculture,
4. Promotion of energy efficiency,
26 % by 2020
5. Development of alternative and renewable energy
sources,
6. Reduction in solid and liquid waste,
7. Shifting to low-emission transportation mode.
B. Translating REDD+ activities into national strategy  next

Scope of REDD+ according to
Bali Action Plan
LINK BETWEEN REDD+ AND NAMAs ( from legal
basis and progress in implementation)
Both NAMAs and REDD+ are under “Enhanced
national/international action on CC mitigation” in BAP (Dec.
1/CP.13),
2. Cancun agreement (Dec. 1/CP.16 Appendix II.c): modalities
for MRV of REDD+ activities should be consistent with
guidance for MRV of NAMAs and consider Dec. 4/CP.15 
target for consideration by COP-17.
3. Challenge to link REDD+ and NAMAs:
 many ambiguities in COP-decision relating to NAMAs
 a lot of progress has been made in REDD+ both in the
negotiation process and implementation

Possible causes of controversy in REDD+
and NAMAs discussions:
1. At the international level :
 Negotiation process: two groups of views on whether REDD+ be
part or not part of NAMAs
 Other international processes (outside negotiation processes) tends
to prefer REDD+ be part of NAMAs
2. At the national level:
 Diversity in awareness of the issues and views on how to best translate
the international instruments into the national context
3. From points (1) and (2)  have we been asking a wrong question?
(whether REDD+ is part/not part of NAMAs ? Or how to best link
REDD+ and NAMAs?).

INDONESIA CASE
 Activities relating to REDD+ and NAMAs are ongoing  (1)
translating COP-decisions into implementation, including efforts in
bringing the issues into the mainstream of development planning
(national and sectoral planning; national-provincial-district level
planning), (2) awareness raising and increasing capacity relating to
REDD+ and NAMAs and other relevant issues,
 Indonesia is yet to develop her plan to implement the national policy
on development and CC mitigation: achieving 7 % economic
growth and 26 % emission reduction by 2020 (called 726 Formula),
 Critical issue for Indonesia relating to REDD+ and NAMAs is how
to ensure coherence between policy, actions, and MRV of REDD+
and NAMAs .

CLOSING REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
 Both REDD+ and NAMAs are aimed at achieving CC
mitigation goals,
 Efforts should be directed to identify relevant issues
from REDD+ and NAMAs, and work to address the
issues,
 Follow up COP-16 guidance on REDD+ relating to
NAMAs (consistency between MRV for REDD+ and
MRV for NAMAs), including what best could be done
within uncertainty (including progress in REDD+
and NAMAs negotiations that is not at the same
stage).
