Enhancing Environmental and Social Resilience: Lessons Learned from REDD+
The novel feature of REDD+ – payments for results at the scale of national or subnational jurisdictions – is only now beginning to be tested, more than a decade since the idea was first embraced by the international community. Lessons are emerging about the degree to which such payments can prompt essential policy reforms in land-use planning, tenure, and agriculture. In the meantime, REDD+ has evolved considerably in terms of scales of implementation and sources of finance. This session will focus on lessons learned from more than a decade of REDD+ implementation, delving into remaining challenges and new opportunities. The session will also address how REDD+ can more broadly support a resilient environment in the forest and land use sectors, including through a focus on local rights and livelihoods.

Turning sustainability commitments into actions: Indonesia’s oil palm sector takes steps towards zero-deforestation
The rapid emergence of zero-deforestation commitments, culminating in the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) in September 2014, has been a reaction to a sense of urgency among a wide range of stakeholders who strive to halve deforestation by 2020 and to end it entirely by 2030. Early implementation revealed that several governance challenges have hampered the effective achievement of commitments. Encouragingly, the last four years have seen some remarkable examples of public policy leadership by national and sub-national governments, as well as the private sector, who have undertaken various initiatives to demonstrate how forests play a significant role in climate change mitigation. This panel discussion will critically examine the challenges and potential for effectively achieving the stated commitments, and demonstrate how different actors concerned with Indonesia’s palm oil sector are responding to the call to end deforestation.
