“…The significance of deforestation and forest degradation as substantial contributors to greenhouse gas emissions underlines the dire need for emission reduction to mitigate climate change effects. A response to this need, REDD+, is designed to incentivize developing countries to lessen these emissions through financial and technical support [2,3]. Moreover, the mechanism also promotes biodiversity conservation and sustainable forest management practices.…”

The complex interplay between fuelwood consumption, deforestation, and land-use transformation in the Dhankuta district of Nepal is scrutinized in this investigation, concurrently shedding light on the feasibility of securing carbon finance via REDD+ mechanisms. Data derived from household surveys and remote sensing ascertained fuelwood as the primary energy recourse for the majority of households, leading to substantial deforestation, forest degradation, and carbon emissions. In a surprising revelation, a 12.4% augmentation in forest cover was discerned over 21 years, attributable to outmigration and conversion of fallow agricultural lands into forests. The investigation established that households involved in agriculture, particularly those with lower income, demonstrated higher dependence on fuelwood, consequently contributing to forest degradation and deforestation that further resulted in the emission of greenhouse gases. Potential avenues for the district to secure carbon finance include the introduction of clean cookstoves, reducing dependency on fuelwood, and greening barren areas. For effective realization of this potential, it is crucial to formulate a benefit-sharing plan that ensures the provision of suitable incentives for forest-dependent communities that are also responsible for forest conservation. By adopting the result-based payment system of REDD+ and promoting sustainable forest management, the district can mitigate carbon emissions, advocate for forest restoration, and qualify for carbon payments.

“…This is not only attributable to technical and methodological challenges in ES accounting and reporting, but also the way projects are governed and "nested". There are ongoing discussions about whether and how projects should be integrated and mainstreamed individual projects into national or subnational (jurisdictional) systems (Gueiros et al, 2023) with common rules and baselines, so that the overall additionality in terms of ES can be clearly demonstrated. It is important to note that discussion on "additionality" herein should focus on the overall programme efficiency rather than contribution from individual projects.…”

“…Esses governos, "por suas condições histórico-geográficas, têm estratégias diferentes" (Becker, 2005), as quais se replicam em suas políticas jurisdicionais de REDD+ em construção. Segundo Gueiros (2023), apesar da relevância das iniciativas da Força Tarefa de Governadores para o Clima (GCF) nos estados da Amazônia Legal, as políticas de REDD+ jurisdicional no âmbito dos estados são impulsionadas com fins políticos, de modo que a cada mudança de gestão podem ocorrer retrocessos em localidades que passam a não se importar com a agenda. Atualmente, os Estados da Amazônia Legal, Acre, Mato Grosso, Amazonas, Tocantins, Pará e Amapá já estão habilitados para captar recursos de pagamentos por resultados, por meio de Resoluções específicas da Comissão Nacional de REDD+ (CONAREDD+) por financiamento que não seja por mercado, tendo o Acre e Mato Grosso efetivado sua captação no âmbito do Programa REM.…”

A floresta está viva. Só vai morrer se os brancos insistirem em destrui-la. Se conseguirem, os rios vão desaparecer debaixo da terra, o chão vai se desfazer, as árvores vão murchar e as pedras vão rachar no calor. A terra ressecada ficará vazia e silenciosa. Os espíritos xapiri, que descem das montanhas para brincar na floresta em seus espelhos, fugirão para muito longe. Seus pais, os xamãs, não poderão mais chamá-los e fazê-los dançar para nos proteger. Não serão capazes de espantar as fumaças de epidemia que nos devoram. Não conseguirão mais conter os seres maléficos, que transformarão a floresta num caos. Então morreremos, um atrás do outro, tanto os brancos quanto nós. Todos os xamãs vão acabar morrendo. Quando não houver mais nenhum deles vivo para sustentar o céu, ele vai desabar.
