of REDD+ in Peru
Gustavo Suárez de Freitas Calmet
Executive Director of PNCB, MINAM
Paris, December 2, 2015
Progress on the requirements of the
UNFCCC
National Strategy and REDD+ Action Plan
National forest reference emissions level and/or a national forest
reference level
System to monitory forest cover
System to provide information on compliance of safeguards within
the country
Principles that guide the implementation of
REDD+ in Peru
 National scope
 Step-wise implementation approach
 Approximation by biomes (Amazonía,
Sierra y Costa)
 Priority activities
• Deforestation
• Degradation
• Increase of reserves of forest
carbon
• Compliance with the Warsaw
Framework

DEFORESTATION
OF THE
PERUVIAN
FOREST
Perú: Three biomass (Amazonic Forest,
Andean Forest and Dry Forest)
Direct Causes:
Extractive Industry
Land use change for
agricultural activities
Infrastructure
Indirect
Causes:
Slash and burn
of forests by
migratory
population
Slash and burn for ag.
expansion/ Previous
landholders forced
out
Slash and burn
of forests for
foreign
investment
+70% in units smaller
than 5 ha/year
Impacts of Mega-projects:
Attract migratory processes
Roads

Expected Change
Objetivo general: Reduce forest loss and degradation
and decrease GHG´s emissions due to LULUCF,
improve forest resilience and reduce climate change
vulnerability of forest dependant population

NATIONAL FOREST &
CLIMATE CHANGE
STRATEGY
VISION
BY THE YEAR 2030 PERU HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED ITS EMISSIONS OF
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHGS ) ASSOCIATED WITH THE LULUCF SECTOR AND THE
VULNERABILTY OF FORESTS AND FOREST DEPENDENT POPULATIONS. THIS
THROUGH THE ADECUATE VALORATION AND CONSERVATION OF FOREST
ECOSYSTEMS, IMPROVING THE PRODUCTION AND COMPETIVITY, AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF BETTER CONDITIONS FOR MANAGING FOREST LANDSCAPE,
INCLUDING GOOD GOVERNANCE, MARKET BASED SOLUTIONS, THE
GENERATION AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION; WITH THE FULL
RESPECT OFTHE CITIZENS RIGHTS, SPECIALLY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE
OTHERS FOREST POPULATIONS.

(NFCCS)
2015 - 2030
NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE
STRATEGY
(NCCS)

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
REDUCE FOREST LOSS AND DEGRADATIO AND DECREASE GHG´S EMISSIONS
DUE TO LULUCF, IMPROVE FOREST RESILIENCE AND REDUCE CLIMATE CHANGE
VULNERABILITY OF FOREST DEPENDANT POPULATION
Design and implent actions that contribute to the
adaptation of the local populations, taking into
account traditional knowledge.
Monitoring the foreseeable impacts and effects of
climate change and local population that depend
upon it, incorporating this results in the national
planification.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 2
REDUCE THE VULNERABILITY OF FOREST LANDSCAPES AND THE PEOPLE THAT
DEPEND UPON THEM, THROUGH ACTIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO
ADAPTATION BASED ON FOREST ECOSYSTEM CONSERVATION, MONITORING
AND INFORMATION GENERATION AND ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES
IMPLEMENTATION WITH THE LOCAL POPULATION, CONSIDERING THEIR
TRADITIONAL KNWOLEDGE.
Increase resilience of forest ecosystems that
produce goods and critical services for local
populations, as well as those of degraded or highly
threatened areas.
Improve the complementary service provision for
a better valuation of forests goods and services.
TA5: CAPACITIES BUILDING
Promote sustainable, competitive, and climate
smart agriculture for improved forest
conservation.
TA4: FINANCING
Empower the prevention, control and sanctions of
illegal activities that causes deforestation and
forest degradation.
TA3: INSTITUTIONAL
Increase forest value through sustainable forestry
management in the differents zoning units.
TA2: ADEQUATE LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Conclude the zonification and organization of
national forests.
TRANSVERSAL ACTIONS
TA1: FOREST COVER MONITORING SYSTEM
Advance in assigning of institutional responsibilies
for managed forest units.
SPECIFIC OJECTIVE 1
REDUCE GHG´S EMISSIONS FROM LULUCF SECTOR, IN A ECONOMICALLY
COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE WAY, CONTRIBUTING THE COUNTRY
DEVELOPMENT, IMPROVING THE POPULATION WELLNESS AND TO GLOBAL
EFFORTS TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION.
“It is the effort of all Peruvians to
deal with climate challenges by
preserving the forests and making
the most of their resources”
