  1. Session 4 IDENTIFYING A PORTFOLIO OF MEA POLICIES FOR ACHIEVING DESIRED FUTURE OUTCOMES

  2. Workshop Agenda IMPLEMENTATION AND REPORTING #1 Clarify Focal MEAs, Status and Linkages with Development Priorities Tool #1: MEA Priorities Mapping using Ecosystem - Wellbeing Linkages [Day 1 am/pm] #6 Prepare MEA Policy Planning Brief #2 Identify Synergies Among Focal MEAs Tool #6: Policy Planning Brief [Day 4 am] Tool #2: MEA Synergy Mapping using DPSIR Analysis [Day 2 am] MEA Outcome Planning Tool #5: Policy Stress Testing using Existing Scenarios [Day 3 pm] #3 Articulate Desired Future Outcomes #5 Assess Risks and Opportunities and Improve and Adapt as Necessary Tool #3: Setting the Challenge Scenario [Day 2 pm] #4 Identify Portfolio of MEA Policies for Achieving Future Outcomes Tool #4: Policy Mapping and Back-casting [Day 3am]

  3. Backcasting... (i.e. ”what do we want?”) Sustainable future = ? (What are some basics?) David Waldron Strategies and actions = ? current reality time University of Delft, 2008

  4. Creating the desired future outcomes Our current focus Completed Desired future goals based on the MEAS How can we achieve the desired future goals and outcomes? • Some of our current policies and actions could get us there • Need to account for long-term trends and surprises • New policies could be adopted to get us to the desired future Desired future outcomes expressed as indicators (qualitative and quantitative) relevant for the area/country Completed Present Future

  5. Creating the desired future outcomes How can we achieve the desired future outcomes? For example: • Current economic diversification policy could be used to explore new types of products (from different species) • Revising species and planting guidelines to include native tree species • Setting quotas for species composition • Estimate how the revenues are sensitive to changes in wood prices and new construction demands (what if questions) • Desired future outcomes • Decrease the monoculture forestry by 30% • Maintain high and stable timber supply(mil m3 of wood) • Achieve at least 80% of current economic returns from forest sector Present Future

  6. Examples of policy types • Regulatory • Legislative instruments • Enforcement activities • Liability • Competition and deregulation policy • Institutional • Internal education • Internal policies and procedures • Economic Instruments • Tradable permits • Deposit refund • Performance bonds • Taxes • Earmark taxes and funds • User fees • Subsidies • Administered prices • Direct Expenditures • Programs and projects • Green procurement • Research and development • Moral suasion

  7. Tool #4Policy Mapping Using the Driving Forces- - Pressure – State – Impact – Response analysis framework to map existing policies from a systems perspective

  8. Creating a Policy Map – A System Perspective DRIVERS Indirect influence through human development PRESSURES Anthropogenic and natural Sectors Human influences Natural processes IMPACTS Aspects of human wellbeing Policy 2 Policy 1 Policy 3 MEA Policy Map Policy 8 Policy 4 Policy 7 Ecosystem services impacted Policy 6 Policy 5 STATE and TRENDS What is the key environment state addressed by the MEA?

  9. Creating a Policy Map – Example DRIVERS Urban Growth PRESSURES Sewage Discharge Sectors Human influences Natural processes Job creation incentives IMPACTS Nutrition and hydration Livelihoods Recreational and Cultural enjoyment Spatial development regulations Food imports Infrastructure expenditures MEA Policy Map Water imports Decreased fish catches Less drinking water Sewer charges In-situ treatment Water quality standards STATE and TRENDS River Water Quality

  10. Policy Analysis Questions • Is the current portfolio of policies directed at the MEA sufficient to achieve the desired long-term outcome target? • What are the leverage points (D, P, S, I) and are effective policies being directed at these leverage points? • Is a mix of instruments being used (economic, regulatory, expenditure, institutional)?

  11. Breakout Group Exercise #4 [45 min]Policy-mapping • Task #1: Create a policy map for your MEA using the template provided • Task #2: Analyse the policy map by addressing the three policy analysis questions (previous slide) • Task 3: Make recommendations to address the policy gaps

  12. Policy Mapping Template DRIVERS Indirect influence through human development PRESSURES Anthropogenic and natural Sectors Human influences Natural processes IMPACTS Aspects of human wellbeing Policy 2 Policy 1 Policy 3 MEA Policy Map Policy 8 Policy 4 Policy 7 Ecosystem services impacted Policy 6 Policy 5 STATE and TRENDS What is the key environment state addressed by the MEA?
