CSF_Support till nationella och lokala policyer för klimatförändringar CSF_Support to National and local Climate Change Policies - CSF_Support to LEAF Initiative The aim of the intervention is to support efforts to reduce deforestation and GHG-emissions - towards the years 2030 and 2050.

To achieve this main objective, three specific objectives have been established:

- Objective 1: To support the design of a Deforestation Reduction and Mitigation Strategy at the national level, based on the development of a Roadmap to achieve the goals of the Forestry and Agricultural sectors established in the NDC of the Plurinational State of Bolivia 2021-2030

- Objective 2: To analyse, assess and design at least one financial mechanism to improve the generation of own income for the National Authority of Protected Areas - SERNAP

-Objective 3: To analyse the economic impact associated with the implementation of the measures identified in the Departmental Climate Change Strategy developed by the Departmental Government of Santa Cruz, hereinafter called Departmentally Determined Contributions (DDC), identifying i) their cost-efficiency, ii) the cost associated with their implementation, iii) their impact on macroeconomic performance at the departmental level, and iv) the comparison of the macroeconomic projection - based on a baseline scenario (without EDCC).

The timeframe of the intervention is two and half years with an activity period of two years (24 months). The contribution has an estimated cost of about SEK 7 998 480 . Syftet med insatsen är att stödja insatser för att minska avskogningen och växthusgasutsläppen – till år 2030 och 2050. För att uppnå detta huvudmål har tre specifika mål fastställts:

- Mål 1: Att stödja utformningen av en strategi för minskning och begränsning av avskogning på nationell nivå, baserad på utarbetandet av en aktionsplan för att uppnå målen för skogsbruks- och jordbrukssektorerna som fastställts i NDCs för den plurinationella staten Bolivia 2021-2030.

- Mål 2: Att analysera, bedöma och utforma minst en finansiell mekanism för att förbättra genereringen av egna inkomster för den nationella myndigheten för skyddade områden - SERNAP

-Mål 3: Att analysera de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av genomförandet av de åtgärder som identifierats i den regionala strategi för klimatförändringar som utarbetats av departementsregeringen i Santa Cruz, i den så kallade Departmentally Determined Contributions (DDC), och identifiera i) deras kostnadseffektivitet, ii) kostnaden för deras genomförande, iii) deras inverkan på makroekonomiska resultat på departamentsnivå, iv) Jämförelse av den makroekonomiska prognosen – baserad på ett grundscenario (utan DDC).




Tidsramen för insatsen är två och ett halvt år med en aktivitetsperiod på två år (24 månader). Insatsen har en beräknad kostnad på cirka 7 998 480  kronor. This proposal seeks to contribute to the national and departmental public policies to combat climate change, based on a joint collaboration with academia, civil society and the public sector. The aim is to support efforts to reduce deforestation and CO2eq emissions up to the years 2030 and 2050. To achieve this main objective, three specific objectives have been established:
- Objective 1: To support the design of a Deforestation Reduction and Mitigation Strategy at the national level, based on the generation of a Roadmap to achieve the goals of the Forestry and Agricultural sectors established in the NDC of the Plurinational State of Bolivia 2021-2030
- Objective 2: To analyse, assess and design at least one financial mechanism to improve the generation of own income for the National Authority of Protected Areas SERNAP 
-Objective 3: To analyse the economic impact associated with the implementation of the measures identified in the Climate Change Departmental Strategy developed by the Departmental Government of Santa Cruz, hereinafter called Departmentally Determined Contributions (CDD), identifying i) their cost-efficiency, ii) the cost associated with their implementation, iii) their impact on macroeconomic performance at the departmental, and iv) the comparison of the macroeconomic projection with respect to a baseline scenario (without EDCC).

At the end of the intervention is expected:
-The establishment of a Roadmap to reduce and mitigate deforestation in Bolivia, in such a way that it is viable and applicable within the terms established in the updated NDC (and its goals until the year 2030), outlining actions and goals that contribute to achieving the sectoral measures defined for the Forestry and Agricultural sectors.
- The design of at least one new financing mechanism for SERNPAC, based on reliable technical information, and the roadmap for its implementation and inclusion in SERNAPs Collection System.
- A report that will contain the results of the model simulations that show the macroeconomic effects and the financial needs of the implementation of key climate change mitigation policies in the department of Santa Cruz (aimed at reducing CO2eq emissions in accordance with the CDDs, Bolivian´s NDC and the objectives of CO2eq emissions by 2050). In a complementary and descriptive way, it is planned to identify and analyse the gender implications that the proposed policies may have.
