New Peruvian Strategy on Forests and Climate Change, 21 July 2016

The 2016 Peruvian strategy was not made from scratch
National strategy on forests and climate change 2016
(list: Pramova et al., 2015)

Analyzing policy documents on ecosystems and climate change
8 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean • Diverse political positions (economy, climate change, environment)• Here results for Chile, Costa Rica and Peru

Policy document selection• National communications to UNFCCC,
National CC strategies, National forest policies with CC content, etc.
• 40 documents Document analysis• Reading full texts and coding (with
Nvivo)• Inductive reasoning
Ecosystems and CC: Basic view1 Ecosystems store carbon for CC mitigation
1
2 CC will affect ecosystems

3 CC impacts on ecosystems will affect local communities
What is wrong with the basic view
1 Ecosystems store carbon for CC mitigation
1
Focus on CC mitigation services (ecosystems = carbon)• Measures aim at storing carbon (REDD+)• Other ecosystem services are forgotten (adaptation services)
What is wrong with the basic view Adaptation is seen through ecological impacts• If CC does not affect ecosystems, there is no problem• As knowledge is missing on how to adapt ecosystems, there are no
measures proposed • Focus on future problems, not current ones
2
2 CC will affect ecosystems
What is wrong with the basic view Social aspects are overlooked• Focus on local populations using forest products• No consideration of how the whole society benefits from adaptation
services- E.g., a city vulnerable to flooding downstream a forest
3 CC impacts on ecosystems will affect local communities

Ecosystem‐based mitigation (carbon, REDD+)Ecosystem‐based adaptation (adaptation services, EbA in watersheds, cities, coasts, local communities, etc.)

6 Ecosystem resilience (against human and climatic pressures)Integrated approach (to avoid tradeoffs, maximize synergies)
Adaptation and mitigation are often separated
In international negotiations and agreements => In national policies
Even though ecosystem management contributes to both
Risks:• Adverse affects:
- mitigation can increase local vulnerability
- adaptation can increase global emissions
• Missed opportunities• Policy incoherence
Presen
ce of key con

e 4 approaches
Evolution of policy document contentsTowards a more complete view of ecosystems and climate change
Why drives these changes? The decision context is increasingly made explicit in the
policy documents• Values, Rules and Knowledge (VRK)
E.g., importance of equity and participation (V), involvement of multiple stakeholders, multi-level governance, land tenure (R), traditional and local knowledge (K)
time
(on VRK, see Gorddard et al. 2016 in EnvSciPol
Conclusions Policy document analysis shows clear
evolution of the conceptualization of ecosystem-based approaches to climate change• More coherent and integrated
