Budget (APBN) to Local Govts (Revenue sharing (DBH), General Alloc Gund (DAU) , Special Alloc Fund (DAK) = Incentives for forest management & land Utilization 2 National Budget (APBN) could share / fund the REDD+ Partnership (off-Treasury) 3 REDD+ Partnership Fund could provide reward and/or policy/programbased financing for local Govts to Support REDD+ Implementation CO2 3 Bold Questions? • How much REDD+ Benefits to be allocated (Allocation system) • Who will distribute the Benefits (Institution system) • To whom the benefits to be given (Payment Distribution Mechanims) channelling of REDD+ benefits (financial incentives) from buyers to the carbon credits producers; re-distributions of REDD+ benefits (financial incentives) to actors of who deliver the activity of avoid or reduced emissions & enhanced forest carbon stock (sequestration). Three Dimensional Aspects Payment Institution Allocation System Payment Distribution Mechanism is an institution that is responsible to receive, to keep, to distribute & to report the REDD+ benefits (financial incentives) generated from delivering activities of avoid or reduced emissions as well as enhanced forest carbon stock; is a method or approach to allocate proportion of REDD+ benefits (financial incentives) among emission reduction & sequestration actors in the field is the re-distribution of REDD+ benefits to whole actors involved in the activity of avoiding or reducing emissions as well as enhancing forest carbon stock on the ground. Village Business Unit (BUMDes) Cooperatives Credit Union Payment Basis Principle Allocation Model • Effectiveness: payment to be paid only for positive reduction and/or sequestration • Efficient: Payment procedure should less bureaucratic & simple institution (directly from buyer to the actor) • Equity: Big proportion of the benefits should go to people who significantly done the job (avoid/reduced of emissions or improve sequestration) – Implementation Costs > transaction Costs • Input-based: Payment is made base on total inputs given/allocated to avoid or reduced emissions or enhance forest carbon stock . E.g. switching activities from BAU to Carbon-based (opportunity costs approach); input ownership issue? (private, communal or public?) • Output-based: payment is made base on final outcome delivered 1) Emission-based; 2) Stock-based Disturbances C gain from growth Emission-based (gain-loss approach) Land use types C = Cgain Where: Stock-based (stock difference approach) Harvested Closs C = change in carbon stock yearly in pool (tC/year) Cgain = Carbon gain yearly (tC)/year Closs= carbon loss yearly (tC/year) Carbon Stock Year-1 (t1) Carbon Stock Year -2 (t2) C = (Ct2-Ct1)/(t2-t1) Where: C = Change in carbon stock yearly in pool (tC/year Ct1 = Carbon Stock in pool in year t1 (tC) Ct2 = Carbon Stock in pool in year t2 (tC) • Payment allocation System can be determined through the following approach: – Proportion of village area that engage in the REDD+ activities (spatial factor); – Number of activity relatives to the REDD+ interventions that are implemented by village (activity factor); – Number of inputs allocated by village for REDD+ activities (input factor) – Total emissions avoided/reduced CO2 sequestered (emission factor).
