Pro-poor REDD benefit-sharing schemes incentivize reduction of forest emissions by safeguarding livelihoods of forest communities. This project fills a gap by building capacity and modeling benefit-sharing schemes for REDD activities. Aligned with the workplan of the REDD-Plus Partnership, it scales up actions needed for national REDD strategies under the Cancun Agreement.

Governmental and non-governmental actors of all three countries have implemented coordinated measures to protect and sustainably use the biodiversity and natural resources of the Selva Maya.

Contribution to the sustainability of new federal nature reserves

The project aims to improve the livelihoods and incomes of 18,000 extremely poor forest households in Campeche, Chiapas and Oaxaca located in the southern states of Mexico. Special attention is given to strengthen the capacity of the communities to better manage their natural resources, enhance conservation practices such as promoting increase of vegetation cover and put in place mechanisms to cope with impact of climate change.

This project is supporting partners in Mexico in developing and implementing a strategy for effective ecosystem-based adaptation measures in watersheds in coastal regions. The strategy focuses on the protection of resources while ensuring sustainable economic development in the region at the same time. Implementing this strategy should lessen the impact of climate change on ecosystems and preserve the livelihoods of the population. To this end, project partners initially assess a project region’s vulnerability to climate change and subdivide it into risk areas for extreme weather events.

Key stakeholders apply the rules and orientation to gain access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge, ensuring the positive effects from this and provide incentives for the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Demarcation and titling of state land within protected areas as a basis for demarcation and strict conservation/restoration regimes

The FC project plans to strengthen ten terrestrial and two marine reserves as well as an eco-corridor (Corredor Ecológico Sierra Madre Oriental - CESMO) by investing in infrastructure, equipment and institutional capacities.
