Abstract
The Bangladesh National REDD+ Strategy provides for a multi-sectoral approach to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, to enhance forest carbon stock, and implementation of actions on REDD+. It consists of five parts: A. The Context; B. REDD+ Vision and Policy Synergies; C. REDD+ Policies and Measures and Expected Results; D. Institutional Arrangement for Redd+ Coordination, Monitoring and Reporting; and E. Cross-Cutting Issues and Enabling Conditions.
Part A contains the international and country context for REDD+ strategy and described the forest governance and land use, deforestation, forest degradation and carbon stock in Bangladesh. Part B lays down the REDD+ vision for Bangladesh. The vision will be realized by creating the enabling conditions for implementation by key stakeholders, and mainstreaming the goals and approaches of the REDD+ Strategy into the annual plans of all relevant sectors. The synergies with the national policy framework is also discussed.
Part C provides for the policies and measures (PAMs) to realize the REDD+ Strategy vision and goals and to effectively address key drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. There are 17 PAMs divided into in six Thematic Areas: 1) Promote supply of alternate energy, energy efficient technologies and timber substitutes; 2) Increase fuelwood supply in forested districts; 3) Improve livelihoods of forest dependent communities; 4) Resolve forest land tenure issues; 5) Improve institutional capacity; and 6) Reforest/Afforest, restore and conserve. The first 5 thematic areas are under Strategic Area 1: Reduce deforestation and forest degradation and the last theme falls under Strategic Area 2: Enhance Forest Carbon Stock.
Part D contains the institutional arrangements which includes the National REDD+ Steering Committee. It also identifies the implementing agencies with the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change in the lead. Coordination and monitoring mechanisms are developed by the Bangladesh Forest Department such as the National Forest Monitoring System and the Safeguard Information System. Part E provides for the governing principals, capacity building activities, gender mainstreaming, and research.
