🌍 USAID Conserve Shares Lessons Learnt from Cambodia’s REDD+ Projects with ASEAN stakeholders 🌱 USAID Conserve provided an overview of USAID Cambodia’s 12 years of support to REDD+ projects in Cambodia to a diverse group of stakeholders in Jakarta, Indonesia, during several roundtable discussions and at an ASEAN Carbon Markets workshop organized by the US Embassy in Jakarta and the US Mission to ASEAN. The roundtable discussions were held with Indonesian REDD+ project developers, the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and other government, private sector, and NGO stakeholders. Perspectives presented by USAID Conserve were complemented by those of Frances Seymour, Senior Advisor for Forests from the US State Department’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, the US Forest Service’s Climate Fellow to Vietnam, Silvestrum Climate Associates Principal for Climate Policy and Financing, SERVIR Southeast Asia, and experts on the California, Washington, Oregon, and Regional Greenhouse Gas Trading Initiative emissions compliance markets in the United States. USAID Cambodia has supported the development of nine REDD+ in Cambodia since 2012. These efforts and the state of play of REDD+ globally were the focus of a recent study. The main conclusions of the study highlighted the durability, integrity, and inclusiveness of REDD+ projects supported by USAID Cambodia. Sharing these findings with ASEAN member states encourages REDD+ project developers and proponents in other ASEAN member states to develop high-integrity REDD+ projects that can be nested into jurisdictional REDD+ frameworks, include rigorous and project area-specific baselines, and utilize transparent and accountable benefit-sharing frameworks. The development of high-integrity REDD+ projects in Cambodia and beyond is critical to ensuring government, investors, and civil society have confidence in the positive role that REDD+ projects can play in addressing the climate crisis, supporting local development, and conserving biodiversity.
