The relevant UN bodies are cooperating closely in the UN Collaborative Programme on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (UN REDD).
De relevante FN-enheter samarbeider tett gjennom UN Collaborative Program on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (UN-REDD).
In addition, the UN system, the World Bank and the African Development Bank are looking into arrangements for mutual participation in relevant funds.
Samtidig har FN-systemet, Verdensbanken og Den afrikanske utviklingsbanken startet prosesser for å klargjøre mulighetene for gjensideig delltakelse i styrene i relevante fond.
The UN system The UN has established the UN REDD programme to coordinate UNEP, UNDP and FAO activities in this field, and to serve as convener for REDD-related activities in the rest of the UN system.
-Arbeid gjennom FN-systemet FN har etablert UN REDD programmet for å koordinere UNEP, UNDP og FAOs innsats på dette området, og for å bringe sammen REDD-relaterte aktiviteter i resten av FN-systemet.
The UN-REDD Fund has been established as a channel for funding.
Det er opprettet et UN-REDD Fund som kanal for finansiering av denne innsatsen.
Steps will also be taken to ensure the active involvement of other actors, such as NGOs, representatives of indigenous peoples, and extractive industries that have a major influence on deforestation and forest degradation.
Andre aktører, som NGOer, representanter for urfolk og olje- og mineralindustri med stor innflytelse på avskoging og skogforringelse vil bli aktivt involvert i arbeidet.
A UN REDD headquarters is about to be established in Geneva.
Et UN REDD sekretariat er under etablering i Geneve.
The first phase of UN REDD will involve “Quick Start” actions, with the objectives of developing and ensuring national ownership of national strategies, establishing systems for monitoring forest cover and biomass and reporting on emission levels and general administrative capacity building in selected pilot countries (Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tanzania, Vietnam and Zambia).
Fase 1 for UN REDD-programmet sikter mot å utvikle og forankre nasjonale strategier, etablere systemer for overvåkning av skog, innsamling av data om karbonvolumer i landets skoger og rapportering på utslippsnivåer, samt generell administrativ kapasitetsbygging i et antall pilotland (Bolivia, Den demokratisk republikken Kongo, Indonesia, Panama, Papua Ny Guinea, Paraguay, Tanzania, Vietnam og Zambia).
To ensure a quick start to UN REDD, Norway has decided to provide full funding, about USD 50 million, for the first phase of the work.
For raskt å komme i gang med UN REDDs innsats, har Norge besluttet å fullfinansiere første fase i arbeidet med omkring 50 millioner USD.
If the results of the first phase are satisfactory, Norway will channel substantially more funds through UN REDD, and will use this as one of the main channels for its efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.
Dersom resultatene av fase 1 er positive, vil Norge kanalisere betydelig større ressurser gjennom UN REDD, og etablere UN REDD som en hovedkanal for innsats for reduserte utslipp fra avskoging og skogforringelse.
It has dual objectives: to build capacity for REDD in developing countries, and to test performance-based incentive payments on a relatively small scale in some pilot countries.
Den andre aktiviteten er å teste ut, i relativt liten skala, systemer for resultatbaserte insentivsystemer i enkelte pilotland.
A key task for the FCPF to begin with has been to identify what assistance tropical forest countries need to be ready to take part in a future system of positive incentives for REDD.
En sentral funksjon for FCPF til nå har vært å identifisere tropiske skoglands behov for støtte i å forberede seg på å kunne delta i et framtidig system for kompensasjon for utslippsreduksjoner.
Norway has already contributed USD 40 million to this work.
Norge har allerede bidratt til dette arbeidet med 40 millioner USD.
The World Bank is also developing the new Forest Investment Program (FIP) to mobilise funds for efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation.
Verdensbanken arbeider også med utvikling av et Forest Investment Program, som skal gjennomføre investeringer for å støtte arbeidet med å redusere avskogning og skogforringelse.
Once the fund’s framework and mechanisms for coordination with other international initiatives have been established, Norway will consider whether to contribute to it.
Når fondets rammer og mekanismene for samordning mot annen internasjonal innsats er fastlagt, vil et eventuelt norsk bidrag bli vurdert.
It will be particularly important to evaluate the degree to which the fund will complement UN efforts so that their outcomes are mutually reinforcing, and whether relevant recipient countries are showing an interest in the fund.
Det vil i vurderingen bli lagt stor vekt på i hvilken grad fondets arbeid kan være komplementært til FNs arbeid, slik at de to kan virke gjensidig styrkende, samt på interessen for et slikt fond blant relevante mottagerland.
The same issues will be of decisive importance in deciding whether to allocate further funding for the FCPF.
De samme spørsmålene vil være avgjørende hva angår spørsmålet om ytterligere støtte til FCPF.
If the fund is found to comply with the requisites, Norway has indicated a possible support of up to 50 million USD.
Dersom utformingen er akseptabel, har Norge indikert et mulig bidrag på opp til 50 millioner USD.
Regional development banks The Congo Basin Forest Fund (CBFF) has recently been established, hosted by the African Development Bank (AfDB).
-Innsats gjennom de regionale utviklingsbankene Gjennom den afrikanske utviklingsbanken (AfDB) er det etablert et fond for vern og bærekraftig forvaltning av Kongobassengets skogområder (Congo Basin Forest Fund, CBFF).
The Fund will cooperate closely with authorities, international donors, NGOs and the private sector and will support activities that can build up national and local capacity and expertise for sustainable forest management.
Fondet vil samarbeide tett med myndigheter, internasjonale givere, frivillige organisasjoner og privat sektor, og støtte aktiviteter som kan bidra til nasjonal og lokal kapasitet og kompetanse for bærekraftig skogforvaltning.
The CBFF will coordinate its work with that of the UN and the World Bank, and with national REDD strategies.
CBFFs arbeid vil bli koordinert mot FNs og Verdensbankens innsats, samt mot gjennomføringen av nasjonale REDD-strategier.
Bilateral programmes As a general rule, bilateral channels will only be used in countries where multilateral initiatives and/or multi-donor cooperation are also in progress, so that the necessary capacity is already in place or being built up.
2.Bilaterale programmer I all hovedsak vil bilaterale kanaler benyttes kun i land der det også gjennomføres multilaterale initiativer og/eller flergiversamarbeid slik at den nødvendige kapasitet er på plass/er i ferd med å bygges opp.
However, some exceptions will be made, generally for two categories of countries.
Imidlertid finnes det unntak.
Brazil Brazil is the world’s largest tropical forest country, and has 30% of the world’s remaining rain forest.
-Brasil Brasil er verdens største tropiske skogland, og 30 prosent av verdens gjenværende regnskog befinner seg i landet.
Rapid deforestation has been a major problem in Brazil for many years, and almost half of the global emissions from forests emanate from this country.
En høy avskogningsrate har vært et stort problem i Brasil i mange år, og denne står alene for nær halvparten av all tropisk avskoging.
However, Brazil is also one of the countries that is taking the problem most seriously.
Samtidig er Brasil et av de land som er kommet lengst i å ta problematikken på alvor.
This has achieved substantial results in the last few years, and Brazil has allocated large financial and human resources to continue its implementation.
Programmet har oppnådd betydelige resultater de siste årene og Brasil har satt av store finansielle og menneskelige ressurser til videre gjennomføring av det.
The Brazilian Government intensified its efforts further when it opened for external support by establishing the Amazon Fund.
Den brasilianske regjeringen intensiverete ytterligere innsatsen mot avskoging når den åpnet for ekstern støtte til arbeidet gjennom etableringen av Amazonas-fondet.
The Fund will provide grants for projects that support the Brazilian authorities’ efforts to reduce deforestation according to the PPCDAM and the Sustainable Amazon Plan, or PAS.
Fondet skal finansiere aktiviteter som støtter opp under de brasilianske myndigheters innsats mot avskogning - i overensstemmelse med PPCDAM og Planen for et bærekraftig amazonas; PAS.
On Brazil’s own initiative, payments to the fund are performance-related, i.e. linked directly to reductions in deforestation relative to a historical reference level.
På brasiliansk initiativ er det etablert en resultatbasert tilnærming til bidrag til fondet, slik at omfanget av bidrag som søkes, er direkte relatert til reduksjoner i avskogningen relativt til et historisk referansenivå.
The reference level will be updated every five years.
Referansenivået revideres hvert femte år.
Further emphasising its political willingness to tackle its deforestation problem, Brazil established ambitious targets to reduce its deforestation towards 2017 in its national climate change plan, which was launched in December 2008.
I 2008 lanserte Brasil en nasjonal klimaplan der landet ytterligere understreker sin vilje til å takle klimaforhandlingene, gjennom å etablere ambisiøse mål for å redusere avskogingen fram mot 2017.
Norway will allocate substantial funding to the Amazon Fund, amounting to 700 million NOK for 2008 and 2009.
Norge vil gå inn med signifikant støtte til Amazonas-fondet, med 700 millioner for 2008 og 2009.
The annual allocations after this will be linked to performance in terms of reduced deforestation rates, in accordance with the approach taken by the Brazilian authorities.
De årlige bidragene for årene fremover vil – i tråd med den brasilianske tilnærmingen – variere avhengig av resultatene som oppnås i form av redusert avskoging.
Norway’s contributions to the Amazon Fund will form part of its broad-based climate policy cooperation with Brazil.
Norges bidrag til Amazonas-fondet vil være del av et bredere anlagt samarbeid med Brasil innenfor klimapolitikken.
There will also be cooperation on the technical aspects of monitoring, reporting and verification (including support for monitoring efforts in third countries) and on identifying projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that may be of interest to Norwegian investors.
Det vil også bli samarbeid om de tekniske utfordringer knyttet til overvåkning, rapportering og verifisering – også i form av støtte til tredjeland- og samarbeid om å identifisere CDM-prosjekter i Brasil av interesse for norske investorer.
Tanzania Norway, together with UN REDD, will provide NOK 500 million towards the development and implementation of a national REDD strategy in Tanzania over a five-year period.
-Tanzania Norge vil – sammen med UN REDD – støtte utvikling og gjennomføring av en nasjonal strategi for REDD i Tanzania med 500 millioner kroner fordelt over 5 år.
New, innovative approaches are also urgently needed.
Utfordringene er mange og risikoen betydelig.
Arrangements will therefore be established for allocations to research and development and projects carried out by educational and research institutions and NGOs.
På denne bakgrunn vil det etableres ordninger for bevilgninger til forskning og utvikling og prosjekter utført av henholdsvis kunnskapsinstitusjoner og frivillige organisasjoner.
Grant applications will be assessed on the basis of a set of environmental and development criteria, the most important being that projects must support national REDD strategies where these have been established, and the potential of the projects for producing innovative solutions.
Søknadene vil bli vurdert på basis av et sett med miljø- og bistandsfaglige kriterier, der hovedvekt skal legges på at prosjektene må understøtte nasjonale REDD-strategier i land som har etablert slike, samt på prosjektenes potensial for å utvikle nyskapende løsninger.
If such solutions function as intended, they can subsequently be implemented on a larger scale.
Dersom disse viser seg å fungere etter hensikten, kan de deretter implementeres i større skala.
Possible examples include projects focusing on the role of indigenous peoples and local communities in monitoring and sustainable management of forests, and the development of innovative financial mechanisms such as compensation for ecosystem services.
Prosjekter med fokus på urfolk og lokalsamfunns rolle i overvåkning og forvaltning av et mer bærekraftig skogbruk, og innovative finansieringsmekanismer, herunder kompensasjon for økosystemtjenester, er mulige eksempler.
In addition, strategic partnerships have been set up with selected NGOs and research institutions.
I tillegg er det inngått strategiske partnerskap med utvalgte NGOer og kunnskapsmiljøer.
Other channels Funding will primarily be provided through multilateral channels, with certain exceptions as described above.
4.Ytterligere prosjektutvikling I utgangspunktet vil midlene bli kanalisert gjennom multilaterale kanaler, med enkelte unntak som beskrevet ovenfor.
