Deserving particular notice in this context is the evolution, in the national scenario, of economic mechanisms and incentives to recognize and promote ecosystem services, which contribute to the economic and environmental sustainability. Albeit young as a nation, Brazil is conscious of its relevant role in the environmental balance of the planet, and has strengthened its position in the international arena through the adherence to multilateral agreements, and seeking to fulfill commitments adopted under conventions ratified by the national government. In 2015, at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda was adopted by 193 UN member countries, Brazil among them. The 2030 Agenda is comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and their 169 targets, which were built on the three dimensions of sustainable development – economic, social and environmental, and strongly support the eradication of poverty, gender equality, and social inclusion. Among the international conventions and agreements to which Brazil is Party, special emphasis is placed on the Convention on Biological Diversity – CBD, which targets the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources and of associated traditional knowledge. The CBD established the Convention of the Parties – COP as its governance body for the implementation of the commitments and decisions under the Convention, which are agreed upon by the member countries at periodic meetings. 7 After becoming a Party to the CBD in 1992, Brazil followed up on its This new version of conservation efforts by creating, in 1994, the National Biological Diversity the NBSAP reinforces Program (Programa Nacional da Diversidade Biológica – Pronabio). The the participatory and program was adjusted in 2003 with the creation of the National Biodiversity Commission (Comissão Nacional da Biodiversidade – Conabio), with the collaborative characteristic mission of promoting the implementation of the commitments undertaken of the process to by Brazil under the CBD. These commitments include the 2011-2020 prepare and implement Strategic Plan, which established 20 Global Targets, known as the Aichi the strategy through Targets, set during COP-10, which was held in 2010 in Nagoya, Japan. the adherence of the After the approval of the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity under the CBD, Brazil initiated in 2011 the process of internalizing the various sectors of society. Aichi Targets and defining the National Biodiversity Targets for 2020. This process generated significant milestones of representative participation, such as the Dialogues on Biodiversity, the Multi-sectoral Inputs to the Governmental Action Plan for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity, and the creation of the Brazilian Panel on Biodiversity (Painel Brasileiro de Biodiversidade – PainelBio), a fundamental partner in the process of mobilization, multi-sectoral engagement and strategic dialogue for strengthening social participation in the effort to achieve the National Biodiversity Targets. Throughout this process, important documents were generated and knowledge was aggregated, and opportunities for synergy were created among the various sectors and governmental levels. Thus substantiated by processes tailored to strengthen governance in countries such as Brazil, this document of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan – NBSAP presents the Brazilian contribution towards the achievement of the Aichi Target 17, which established that each Party should develop, adopt as a political instrument and begin implementing an effective, participatory and up-to-date national biodiversity strategy and action plan. This new version of the NBSAP reinforces the participatory and collaborative characteristic of the process to prepare and implement the strategy through the adherence of the various sectors of society (MMA and its agencies; other ministries and their agencies; state and local governments; representatives from academia, civil society and private sector). The institutions engaged in the NBSAP contributed to the construction of the text and preparation of the action plan, thus materializing the commitment to the implementation of actions that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, considering the equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of biological resources, socio-cultural aspects, gender equality and valuation of traditional knowledge. 8 Contents List of Figures .....................................................................................................................................11 List of Tables ......................................................................................................................................12 List of Boxes .......................................................................................................................................13 Abbreviations and Acronyms ...............................................................................................................14 Foreword ............................................................................................................................................18 Introduction ........................................................................................................................................19

  • Linking REDD+ to Support Brazil's Climate Goals and Implementation
    FOREST TRENDS PUBLIC-PRIVATE FINANCE INITIATIVE NOVEMBER 2016 Linking REDD+ to Support Brazil’s Climate Goals and Implementation of the Forest Code Rupert Edwards SUPPORTERS About Forest Trends Forest Trends works to conserve forests and other ecosystems through the creation and wide adoption of a broad range of environmental finance, markets and other payment and incentive mechanisms. Forest Trends does so by: 1) providing transparent information on ecosystem values, finance, and markets through knowledge acquisition, analysis, and dissemination; 2) convening diverse coalitions, partners, and communities of practice to promote environmental values and advance development of new markets and payment mechanisms; and 3) demonstrating successful tools, standards, and models of innovative finance for conservation. About Forest Trends’ Public-Private Finance Initiative Conserving forest and ecosystems and transforming land use at scale to sustainable low-emissions production systems requires substantial investment. Our Public-Private Finance Initiative is strategically focused on creating architectures that increase the amount of capital flowing to land use practices which reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation, improve the productivity of agricultural and livestock systems, and enhance live- lihoods of rural populations. Linking REDD+ to Support Brazil’s Climate Goals and Implementation of the Forest Code Rupert Edwards November 2016 SUPPORTERS Acknowledgments We gratefully acknowledge Ruben Lubowski (Environmental Defense Fund), Ronaldo Seroa da Motta (Earth Innovation Institute and State University of Rio de Janeiro), and Josh Gregory (Forest Trends) for their anal- ysis and review for this paper. We would also like to thank David Tepper, Director of Forest Trends’ Public-Private Finance Initiative, and Michael Jenkins, President and CEO of Forest Trends, for their guidance.
