Key principle for addressing REDD+
9 Important primarily for addressing Climate Change,
but maximizing multiple benefits through REDD+ is
no less important than CC.

Water supply
Ecotourism

Biodiversity conservation

Erosion control

Livelihood improvement

Major areas of cooperation(1)9 Addressing underlying causes and drivers of deforestation& forest degradation, such as forest fires, inappropriate
land-use patterns and unsustainable forest management.

Land use planning(Timor-Leste)
Forest fire control(Indonesia)

SMF, e.g. combat IL(Brazil)

Poverty alleviation(Laos)

Major areas of cooperation (2)9 Establishing robust and transparent MRV system.
ALOS/PALSAR for forest

Case example (Vietnam)
Study on potential forest land for addressing climate change

Major components (1)9 Develop digitized nation-wide forest maps to detecthistorical trend of area changes.
Progress:¾ Map on AR-CDM potential areas was produced.
¾ Forest maps for 1990, 2000 and 2010 were prepared.
¾ Preparation of additional forest maps for 1995 and2005 is under consideration.
¾ National Forest Inventory data is under verification.
Major components (2)9 Establish reference emission level (on a trial basis)
Data analyzing is under way.

Major components (3)9 Survey on model land for potential REDD+ projects

Four (4) case studies are being conducted as model lands.
i. Reduction of emission from deforestation and forest degradation by
mitigating rubber plantation development in Binh Phuoc Province
ii. Reduction of emission from deforestation and forest degradation
through implementation of community forest management (CFM)and enhancement of forest management by forest company in Dak
Nong Provinceiii. Development of forest plantation on shifting cultivation site in Nghe
An province
iv. Reduction of emission from deforestation and forest degradation
through implementation of CFM in Kon Tum Province

Major components (4)9 Formulate REDD+ demonstration project
Under consideration.
