Sub-national REDD Projects: Lessons Learned in Brazil & Guatemala

Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of Amazonas (IDESAM), Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS), and Rainforest Alliance

Location: 219, 2nd floor, Collegium Maius

This event will present the creation and implementation of REDD projects at the sub-national scale, analyzing two specific case studies: the Juma Reserve RED Project, the first REDD project validated to the CCB standards to earn a gold rating, and the Payment for Environmental Services Project in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, which is creating a reinvestment mechanism that will benefit communities and conservation. Issues of methodology, standards, legal frameworks and co-benefits will be addressed. The event will create a multi-national, “south-south” environment for analysis of REDD projects in tropical forest countries.

Mariano Cenamo, IDESAM
