Programma
The course will look in detail at the negotiations within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on emission reductions from forests (REDD+) and the various Fast Start mechanisms already operating, such as for example the UN-REDD program. The different options for finance to include carbon markets and multilateral investment will be examined. There will also be a discussion of emerging environmental and social safeguards for REDD+ as well as links to agricultural roundtables and forest law-enforcement, governance and trade (FLEGT) initiatives. The course will use case studies to illustrate key topics and create a space for discussion on directions for the future.
The course is divided into the following 5 compulsory e-Modules:
e-Module 1: “Starting up! Are you climate friendly?”, which includes 4 e-lessons (1. Log in and answer to the welcome letter; 2. Have you ever seen deforestation of forest degradation?; 3. Calculate your carbon footprint! 4. IPCC forecasts);
e-Module 2: “Problems and solutions of climate change”, which includes 3 e-lessons (1. REDD+; 2. Domestic initiatives, voluntary carbon market and supply chain; 3. Financial investments);
e-Module 3: “From carbon to ecosystem services”, with 5 e-lessons (1. Key concepts; 2. Adding values: ecosystem services; 3. Case study: water; 4. Project cycle; 5. Exercise 1: compare forest carbon standards);
e-Module 4: "Carbon accounting", with 2 e-lessons (1. Exercise 1: estimate carbon credits; 3. Exercise 2: audit carbon estimations);
e-Module 5: “Final examination” (based on an individual assignment).
