Inaugural Session The regional level consultation on preparedness for REDD Plus began with a welcome address by Mr. M. Lokeswara Rao, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Environment & Climate Change), Nagaland Forest Department.

Dr. Rekha Pai, Inspector General of Forests (EAP), Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India delivered the opening remarks and highlighted the intricate relationship between forest resources and livelihoods of the local communities. She appreciated the conservation efforts which are primarily community driven in the NE region. Dr. Pai emphasized that REDD+ could be a mechanism to incentivize conservation efforts of the local communities besides providing co-benefits such as improved bio-diversity, improved water service, etc.

Dr. J V Sharma, Senior Fellow, TERI set the theme for the workshop. Dr. Sharma mentioned that REDD plus is a financial incentive mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation with the potential of sustaining livelihood of Forest Dependent Communities (FDCs), maintenance of ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation with safeguards of people living in and around forests with respect to their rights, governance and sustainable livelihood. In other words, it is sustainable forest management with additionality of two elements. One is assessment of carbon and other is its trade in the market and to get benefit to the community who are involved in the conservation of forests. So it is a mechanism to compensate conservation efforts. It is still a concept not yet negotiated as mechanism. He also spoke about the need for an effective governance mechanism for implementing REDD+. And how the governance system in the NE region is unique and be further strengthened by the provisions under the Forest Rights Act. Dr. JV sharma introduced the concept of REDD+ and how the consideration which led to it gaining momentum in the international negotiations. Dr. Sharma emphasized the necessity of good governance for effective implementation of REDD+. Speaking about the North East region he mentioned that out of the eight states, four states namely –Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram are under sixth schedule and other four states Arunachal, Nagaland, Manipur and Sikkim are special states under the article 371-A Nagaland, 371-C Manipur, 371-F Sikkim and 371-H Arunachal. In addition, there is special constitutional provision for Assam under article 371-B for three districts and. Rest other districts are same as other districts in the rest of the country. There is special constitutional provision for Mizoram under article 371-B. As per the reports of the respective states , FRA is applicable in limited way in NE states except AP and Nagaland. FRA in the North Eastern Context needs to be looked at as an opportunity rather than impediment to correct and clarify domestic and ground situations which can further secure and strengthen forest tenure and control of community forest resources to ensure both conservation and livelihood needs. Forest Governance in the North Eastern States needs a special focus from MOEF and has to be beyond the current mainstream approaches. The station of implementation of FRA in AP, not relevant because it is tribal dominated. In Manipur, tribal communities and tribal chiefs are already holding ownership of forest land as their ancestral land in non-Reserved Forest


2

Area. Therefore, implementation of the Forest Rights Act is perceived minimal. Since 96% ownership of forests is with tribals in Meghalaya, so scope of implementation is limited. The Act was to be approved by the State Legislative Assembly as per the Article 371 (G) of the Constitution. In the sitting on 29.10.2009 of its Fourth Session, the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Mizoram has resolved that the Forest Rights Act shall be adopted in the entire State of Mizoram with effect from 31.12.2009. The same has also been notified by Govt. of Mizoram on 3.3.2010. Nagaland Government informed that FRA is not applicable. The Government of Sikkim has issued a notification dated 28.1.2008 regarding constitution of an Expert Committee for identification of Critical Wildlife habitats in Protected Areas (PAs) and have also constituted the various Committees under the Act namely SDLC, DLC and SLMC, but has not sent any report regarding the progress of implementation of the Act in the State so far. In Sikkim, there are no Forest Dwelling STs and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers in the true sense of the terms. Most of the STs of Sikkim hold revenue land in their own name and they are not solely dependent on the forests for their livelihood. FRA is implemented in Tripura. He further mentioned that the objective of this workshop is to apprise forest officers for the readiness of REDD+ and get their views to have policy interventions if needed. REDD+ has emerged as international mechanism for incentivizing conservation efforts but in India, it is similar to everyday forest management.

In his Keynote Address, Dr. Jagdish Kishwan, Former Additional Director General of Forests (Wildlife), Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India stressed upon ‘the need for preparedness’ and ‘who should be prepared’. Dr. Kishwan emphasized the need for building capacity of all key stakeholders including scientific and technical organizations, state forest departments, council of science and technology, communities among others. He further stressed that improved technical competencies, equipments, latest computing technology require trained and skilled staff.

In his Special Remarks, Principal Conservator of Forests, Nagaland Forest Department, Dr. CL Goel, said forests hold immense potential to mitigate and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change. He said that the vibrant hill state of Nagaland, with its wide expanse of lush and evergreen sub-tropical rain forests and abundant natural resources, presents immense opportunities for implementation of projects adopting a REDD Plus approach, which seeks to incentivize communities not only for reducing deforestation but also for conservation, sustainable management of forests, and increase in forest cover.

Dr. Goel also mentioned that Government of Nagaland is undertaking a project on Forest Carbon and Capacity Building and other associated matters and in this regard the government has already signed a draft contract with TERI on the scope of work, deliverables, budget, payment schedule, time schedule.

The inaugural address was delivered by Mr. L Kire, Commissioner and Secretary for Forests, Ecology, Environment and Wildlife. Mr. Kire appreciated the organizers for taking up the issue of REDD+ of global concern and importance and which has local level implications. He urged designing strategies and policies especially in the context of the North East Region. Mr. Subhash Chandra, Deputy Inspector General of Forests (Forest Policy), Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, proposed the vote of thanks.

Session I: Introduction to and a brief update on the current debate on REDD plus in international climate change negotiations, NAPCC and GIM

Chair: Dr Jagdish Kishwan, Former Additional Director General of Forests (Wildlife), Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India

Evolution of REDD+ under UNFCCC, the emerging architecture and its relevance for India Dr. J.V. Sharma explained the relationship between forests and climate change. He also emphasized to understand different forest related international instruments and processes, particularly the Non-Legally Binding Instruments for sustainable development of all types of forests. Ms. Ridhima Sud explained the emergence and evolution of REDD plus in the UNFCCC negotiations. She further mentioned that India’s position on REDD+ is in consonance and similar to the underlying principle of our National Forest Policy 1988. She mentioned REDD+ is the global endeavor to create an incentive for developing countries to protect, better manage and save their forest resources, thus contributing to the global fight against climate change. REDD+ goes beyond merely checking deforestation and forest degradation, and include incentive for ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, sustainable forest management and enhancement of carbon stock. India stands to gain a lot from global REDD+ mechanism. It has specifically opened the possibilities for the country to expect compensation for its pro-conservation approach and sustainable forest management resulting increase of forest cover and thereby its carbon stock.

REDD+ and its relevance to India, NAPCC and GIM Dr Rekha Pai, Inspector General of Forests, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India gave a presentation on REDD+ and its relevance to India how it related to the National Action Plan on Climate Change and Green India Mission. Dr. Pai began her presentation with a brief introduction to the National Action Plan on Climate Change, underlying principles and the eight missions to carry forward the overarching vision. She then explained the National Mission for a Green India, its principles and core strategies. She also mentioned that the Mission in an unique position, to significantly contribute to sustainability of other missions and has linkages with food security (linkages with agriculture), water security, energy security and livelihood security of local communities. She concluded her presentation by highlighting some of the challenges such as resource convergence, capacity building of various stakeholders and implementation of landscape approach. She concluded by saying that the NE region with its system of community driven forest management can provide opportunities for learning and replication in other parts of the country.

Key Discussion Points 1. Institutional Mechanism for REDD+ at the level of JFMC/Gram Sabha which should

have linkage to State level REDD+ Cell. State level REDD+ cell will report to National Level REDD+ Cell, and National Level Cell would establish linkage with UNFCCC.

2. Identification of National level Institutions such as FSI for MRV of carbon assessment as well as the assessment of SMF. FSI may designate government and non-


4

government based institutes for the verification of carbon enhancement on the basis of their capability.

3. SMF term agreed at UNFCCC negotiation but definition of SMF is still awaited. In India, SMF is being treated at par with SFM till any specific definition agreed under the umbrella of UNFCCC.

4. Initially, fund based mechanism for REDD+ projects is recommended but later possibilities of voluntary market based mechanism or compliance market based could be explored.

5. Green India Mission may be used as opportunity to have fund based mechanism for financing REDD+ projects. Financial assistance may be provided to communities to prepare baseline and Capacity Building. The compensation of their efforts for conservation should be on the basis of enhancement of carbon stock and implementation of SMF.

6. There is need to have provision of pilots of REDD+ under the External Aided Projects in future as well as also in the existing projects.

7. The funds available under CAMPA and thirteenth and fourteenth Finance Commission may be used for pilots of REDD+.

8. There is urgent need to have National Level Strategy for REDD+ and operational manual for simplifying the procedure for better understanding of field staff.

Session II. Forest Governance in context of REDD plus Chair: Dr. D Pandey, Former Director General of Forests

Dr. Amba Jamir, Policy Analyst, Trainer and Development Consultant gave a presentation on Forest governance in the Indian context of North-eastern States. Mr. Jamir spoke about the uniqueness of forest resource management in the NE region and how the customary rights and traditional institutions play a major role in forest governance. He further emphasized that communities have the will and ability to manage local resources but often require scientific management know-how and strategies to support what they are doing. The way forward for effective implementation of REDD+ plus would be to overcome the challenges and learn from communities the efficiency of their management mechanisms and see where the state can fit in – not the other way round.

Mr. Subhash Chandra delivered a presentation on Forest based livelihood in the context of REDD Plus and highlighted the tremendous pressure that would be placed on the forest resources in future. He suggested that strengthening inter-sectoral linkages & convergence of various schemes with Rural Development, Agriculture, Tribal Welfare, Water and Renewable Energy etc. is necessary for realizing full potential of forestry sector in creating livelihood opportunities to holistically address poverty & hunger, food, energy & water security. Mr. Chandra further highlighted that REDD+ efforts will enhance ecological & environmental, services, contribute significantly to rural economy, enhance forest resources for fuelwood, fodder, timber, small timber, and NTFPs, conservation of biodiversity, will benefit local communities for conservation efforts with additional carbon incentives.

Key Discussion Points 1. The forest governance is largely people centric in most of the NE states particularly

in forests owned by community/village council. The government owned forests are managed through a mechanism of JFM.

2. The role of forest department should be focused on monitoring, technical support to the community and also in the protection of forests through legal instruments.

3. No single model of forest governance can work in all NE states. There is need to develop governance models on the basis of their customary laws and special provisions in the constitution of India exist.

4. Capacity building of communities as well front line staff of the state forest departments.

5. As NE region has around one fourth of country’s forest cover and people’s life is more forestry centric, there is a need for creating significant economic opportunity through focused forestry based livelihood programmes.

6. Need for greater convergence of developmental programmes at local level for addressing various drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.

7. Control of jhuming with better alternative livelihood means to help regenerate forests.

8. Forestry research in NE region to be strengthened. Efforts to improve productivity and sustainable harvesting and efficient utilization of forest produces including NTFPs including bamboo with better marketing for enhancing income of local communities engaged in conservation and sustainable management.

Session III. Methodology for carbon assessment, leakages and additionally of carbon and capacity building and experience of REDD Plus in India Chair: Dr. C.L Goel, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Nagaland Forest Department

Dr Devendra Pandey delivered a presentation on Methodology for carbon assessment and MRV. Dr. Pandey spoke about the guiding principles (IPCC) for measuring the forest cover and forest carbon stocks and the efforts made by India in this direction. He explained in detail the methods for measuring forest carbon stocks and changes within it.

Mr. Lokeshwar Rao made a presentation on Community Conservation Areas in Nagaland and mentioned that being a special category state of the Indian Union, the people of Nagaland have certain privileges through the special provisions in the Indian Constitution . The grass root level social organizations such as Village Councils and Village Development Boards are in function throughout Nagaland and act as linkage between the people and government. Mr. Rao also highlighted the various initiatives undertaken by the Nagaland Forest Department to build capacity and implement REDD+ pilot in the State.

Key Discussion Points 1. The projects under REDD+ should be at the level of JFMC/Village Council.

2. The baseline for the existing stock may be financed under GIM or any other scheme.


6

3. Capacity building of communities and front line staff of the state forest departments for the assessment of carbon stock.

4. State REDD+ Cell should build the capacity in the state to use GIS-Remote sensing Technology to verify the carbon assessment done.

5. Five pool of carbon (AGB, BGB, Litter, dead wood and Soil Carbon) should be used for the measurement of carbon.

6. There is need to institutionalize the indicators for SFM in the monitoring system of forest department.

7. Methodologies for carbon assessment established by IPCC should be used for REDD+ Projects.

8. The Government of India should nominate agency or agencies to provide certificates for carbon stock under REDD+ concept.

9. The government of India should develop guidelines for the benefit of states on the basis of lesson learnt till now by TERI, USAID and ICFRE with respect to different pilots in the country.

Session IV: Panel Discussion on Financing Options for Incentivizing Carbon Stock Enhancement The panel discussion was chaired by. Dr. Jagdish Kishwan. On the basis of the discussions, the following recommendations have been agreed upon:

1. The Central Government should develop strategy and guidelines for REDD+.

2. More pilots of REDD+ under JICA, USAID Projects, CAMPA, GIM, Finance Commission and other schemes.

3. There is need to have national level consultation on the outcomes of regional level workshops to develop national level guidelines for REDD+.

4. Identification of institutions for MRV of carbon and other ecosystem services. FSI could be the institution and other government and non-government institutions may be authorized for the verification of enhanced carbon.

5. Identification of Center of Excellence for REDD+ from whom State Governments could take technical assistance.

6. Development of simple methodology for carbon assessment which should be based on the IPCC guidelines.

7. Inclusion of REDD+ pilots under externally aided Projects.

8. Corporate Sector could also be explored for financing REDD+ projects under Corporate –Social Responsibility.

9. The Government of India could explore the possibility of funds for REDD+ under FCPF and UNREDD+.


7

Dr. Davendra Pandey in this concluding remarks summarized the discussion as follows:

1. REDD+ is a concept which is not new concept but we used to implement in our day today forest management.

2. India has capacity to assess the enhancement of carbon but capacity building of community as well as frontline staff is needed with respect to assessment.

3. GIS technology must be used by state forest departments.

4. There is need of national level strategy and guidelines for REDD+ with regional variability.

5. As part of the national strategy, institutional mechanism at the State level should also be built up with nodal points to coordinate REDD+ action with National & Field levels.

6. Engagement of relevant stakeholder departments/ institutions for implementation of REDD+ is necessary.

7. Capacity building of community and frontline staff with respect to assessment, inventory and sustainable harvest.

8. Filling of the vacant post of the front line staff.

The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Panger Jamir, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Nagaland Forest Department (Dev. & Planning).
