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.
The Terpercaya Initiative aims to provide trusted information on sustainability at the subnational level in Indonesia, by developing an application that will provide credible information to buyers assessing where to source products. This virtual event is being held to raise awareness of progress regarding sustainable production and trade of Indonesian palm oil, in the context of global and EU market developments and increased consumer awareness.
The EU REDD Facility has taken stock of three years of testing the payments for environmental services (PES) mechanism in Côte d’Ivoire, which aims to help restore and conserve forest cover. Lessons learnt from pilot projects and discussions with national stakeholders led to the updating of the guidelines for project developers interested in implementing direct incentives for forest restoration.
This brief by the EU REDD Facility and Institut Penelitian Inovasi Bumi (INOBU) discusses the rationale for a jurisdictional monitoring system that assesses sustainable development performance in West Papua, Indonesia. It describes the collaborative process of developing its performance indicators.
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.
