Philippine National REDD-Plus Strategy, 2010
The Philippine National REDD-plus Strategy (PNRS) covers a 10-year horizon and sets out wide ranging strategies and activities. It is intended to equip forestland managers in the country in undertaking their responsibility to implement the REDD-plus programs, research, projects and activities with the support of international, national and local agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other support groups. After a brief introduction, the PNRS gives an overview of the forestry sector scenario in the Philippines, a review of the legal context for REDD-plus in the Philippines, and a discussion on the REDD-plus strategies. These strategies may be organized within seven overlapping components:
- Enabling Policy
- Governance
- Resource Use, Allocation and Management
- Research and Development
- Measuring, Reporting and Verification of emission reductions and review procedures for non-carbon social and environmental impacts and benefits
- Sustainable Financing
- Capacity Building and Communication
