  1. 11 November 2011 International Forestry and Climate ResearchKnowledge UptakePolicyPracticeResults

  2. Afternoon Agenda 2– 4.30 • Why we are here • Emerging UK govt narratives, ICF, programmes • Emerging research/evidence challenges (vfm results, OUR results!) • Next steps in bridging gaps & working together

  3. Why we are here • Regular and effective working relationship between research, policy and practice • Expectations • Key gaps • Mutual priorities • Ways of working

  4. UK’s International Climate Fund • £2.9 billion ICF • <20% to UK’s international forestry and climate initiative

  5. The situation analysis • Increasing pressure on forests • Convergence in food, fuel, fibre markets • Progress in tackling illegal logging • Clear & secure rights key to reducing deforestation/ degradation • Emerging market investors increasingly shape land and resource use with opportunities for small forest enterprises

  6. UK government thinking • Triple goals –Poverty, climate change, biodiversity • Forest governance is a prerequisite for meeting the triple goals • In and beyond forests • Expand current work to other drivers: Illegal logging + other commodities • Promoting public-private investment, green growth, • Approaches underpinned by robust evidence; better knowledge uptake

  7. 3 lines of work under ICF Forestry Pillar • New 10 year forest governance markets and climate programme supporting governance and market reforms that reduce the illegal use of forest resources and benefit poor people in 10 countries • Under design - Promotion of forestry & land use investments for REDD+ • Uptake of knowledge and tools • Nepal MSFP; Indonesia CCP

  8. Forest Governance, Markets, Climate Not a single approach (1) • Where governance is weak and illegality persistent –FLEGT VPAs • A focus on legality and law enforcement that reinforces sovereignty • Use the power of the market to change the dynamics of the debate • Demand and supply side measures to help markets discriminate

  9. The Charter of the Forests “Every freeman shall at his own pleasure provide agistment for his woodland in the forest and have his pannage .”

  10. Forest Governance, Markets, Climate Not a single approach (2) • Multi-stakeholder processes to tackle deep rooted governance problems; Coalitions of interest that sustain momentum • Better evidence; Build awareness • A formal legal framework ensures integrity of measures

  11. Investing in better forestry and land use managementUK REDD+ • PWC report • Targeted bilateral support to complement multilateral actions • Tapping private sector potential • A focus on countries with potential to make progress on REDD+ • Continued support for better forest governance

  12. Investing in? • Agricultural drivers of deforestation? • Degraded lands? • Small and medium enterprises? • Matching the right capital to the right investment opportunities – Modality?

  13. Knowledge Uptake: Gaps • Plethora, diversity of fragmented evidence & case studies; difficult for FL P&Ps to navigate • Lack of aggregated & comparable evidence, systematically gathered • Flows of international forestry project finance to specific geographic footprints; dispersed smaller, shorter projects • QUERY – More limited finance to research& knowledge uptake • Links between hard/soft; embodied/disembodied
