The EU REDD Facility works with partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America to understand the governance challenges driving deforestation and develop pragmatic approaches to advance land-use governance and sustainable development. This report presents highlights from our work in 2021.
La présente analyse décrit les principales règles juridiques régissant l’accès à 1) la terre rurale vis-à-vis des pratiques (agro)forestières, à 2) la propriété des arbres plantés et 3) aux services environnementaux associés, notamment ceux générés par la séquestration de carbone. Ce faisant, elle vise à répertorier les facteurs juridiques susceptibles de favoriser ou de limiter le développement des projets (agro)forestiers dans le domaine rural et à fournir aux divers investisseurs intéressés par de tels projets les informations pertinentes à l’évaluation des risques et opportunités correspondants.
This analysis describes the legal framework governing access to: (1) land from the rural domain for (agro)forestry activities; (2) ownership of planted trees; and (3) related environmental services, including those resulting from carbon sequestration. It aims to identify the legal issues that may support or hinder the development of (agro)forestry projects in land from the rural domain and to provide the different investors interested in such projects with relevant information to assess the corresponding risks and opportunities.
This year, COVID-19 brought unprecedented challenges for the world’s forests and the people depending on them. The pandemic has had serious social, economic and environmental consequences in our partner countries. Forest-risk commodity exports decreased dramatically, jeopardising financial security in agricultural sectors. At the same time, operators and producers prioritised tactics for their economic survival over environmental standards.
At the EU REDD Facility, we help tropical forest countries to implement their commitments under the Paris Agreement on climate change; and to improve land-use governance as part of their efforts to slow, halt and reverse deforestation.
Improved forest governance is key to addressing deforestation and forest degradation. Bottom-up approaches that have focused on solving specific issues on land-use governance or deforestation-free commodity production benefit from initiatives that bring visibility, support and competence to forest and land-use governance, such as FLEGT and REDD+ processes.
This report summarises insights the EU REDD Facility’s work has revealed and demonstrates some of the Facility’s key achievements in 2017.
The EU REDD Facility supports countries in improving land-use governance as part of their efforts to slow, halt and reverse deforestation. It also supports the overall EU effort to reduce its contribution to deforestation in developing countries. The Facility focuses on countries that are engaged in REDD+, an international mechanism that incentivises developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their forest and land-use sectors. The Facility is hosted by the European Forest Institute and was established in 2010.
