Introduction The Forests National Corporation (FNC), in its capacity to implement and coordinate all forestry and REDD+ issues and agreements to which Sudan is a party and as a member of Designated National Authority for the Kyoto Protocol, UN-REDD partner and also Sudan, formally requested to join the World Bank’s initiative of Forest Carbon Partnership Facility and benefit from the REDD readiness phase and hence, contribute to the global effort to mitigate the adverse climate change impacts.

REDD+ activities in Sudan• Forests National Corporation established a national REDD+

unit to develop the framework for a REDD+ strategic plan. Such work was done in collaboration with the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) and Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources (HCENR). The inception workshop of REDD+ was in August 2010, and targeted TOT from different States to develop the capacities of indigenous people and related institutions.

• The first workshop targeted 10 foresters, 15 indigenous people and 5 from other related institutions from various States.

Activities….

The forest classifications have been addressed to identify forest classes according to the function, ecological zone, and ownership, including the involvement forest communities, indigenous people and other forest dependants.

Awareness-raising for officers, which includes the TOT from indigenous people, communities, and others dependant on forests addressed the processes of involvement of different stakeholders in REDD+ planning, review of policy and implementation of REDD+ activities.

Activities….

A five groups consulted in last March 2011 to assess the degradation and deforestation rate and data related to indigenous people and others dependant on forests in Sudan.

These data presented in a workshop conducted in April 2011.

These data sets used as the basis of guidelines for 5 years strategic plan and framework for REDD+ in Sudan.

The forest policy regarding the engagement of stockholders, national local governance and civil societies in planning, implementation and management of REDD+ forests to set out REDD+ policy was done.

Forest Policy 2006

The new forest policy document was formulated in a participatory manner where an initial investigation of stakeholders’ demands, issues and concerns was made (700 respondents in 27 categories). A Task Force characterized by wide representation was convened and working groups with varying experiences were involved in the formulation process.

Main policy issues are derived from the stakeholders’ consultation process.

Therefore, it is not based only on regulations but driven by society’s and people’s needs.

What is the Conflict?

Negative conflict derives from incompatible interactions:

• at personal, community, national and international levels (negotiation and mediators)

• Human activities (social, political, economic) interact with the natural resources. (CC as outcomes of negative interactions)

Conflict exists everywhere and at all times. It is part of all human development and ways of life.

Climate change, REDD and Livelihoods

1. Adaptation is about changing livelihoods—over 80% of Sudanese are directly dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods.

2. Adaptation is about creating conditions to support these changes in livelihoods (governance, policies, cooperation, improved access to natural resources etc).
