This is one of CMIA's most active working groups where members cooperate to ensure a market for REDD+ credits.  The group works across various levels - international and regional, and various fora - multilateral, bilateral, private sector.  Actively commenting on the provisions debated under the UNFCCC, this working group engages with developing and developed country negotiators to provide market-based, on-the-ground expertise from both legal and investor perspectives.

Towards a Governance Framework for REDD+ Financing

 

CMIA has recently been appointed as implementing agency of an initiative of the Swiss and Philippine governments entitled "Towards a Governance Framework for REDD+ Financing".  Its partner implementing agencies are the Ateneo School of Government and the Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation.  As part of this initiative, CMIA and its partners hosted a workshop on REDD+ financing options in Panama last 2 October, to facilitate understanding on a governance framework to unlock the flow of long-term, sustainable finance for REDD+ and ensure the success of the mitigation strategy.

 

The workshop was attended by almost 100 government negotiators, NGO representatives and members of the private sector.

 

Presented at the workshop and underpinning the discussions were a literature review synthesizing the current state of REDD+ financing based on seminal publications thus far, and the results of an electronic survey of stakeholders’ opinions on critical issues regarding REDD+ financing.

 

The initiative's final report identifying the key elements of a  governance framework that will both encourage financing for and the environmental integrity of REDD+ can be found here.
