The primary objective of theproject was to establish the contribution of Ethiopian forests to national income3(GDP) by assessing the following.◾ Value added of the forestry sector: The annual contribution of the productionof forest ecosystem goods and services to GDP attributed to the forestry industry in the Ethiopian System of National Accounts (ESNA).◾ Contribution of forest ecosystems to other sectors: The annual contribution of the production of forest ecosystem goods and services to GDP attributedto other industries in the ESNA (for example, the contribution of forest-basedinsect pollinators to the value added of the agriculture industry or the contribution of protected areas to the tourism industry).◾ Non-market benefts: the annual contribution of forest ecosystems tonon-market income in Ethiopia (which is conceptually beyond the scope ofnational accounting and therefore not included in GDP).The contribution of forest ecosystems to national income is seen as a vital elementof the case for forest conservation in Ethiopia. Prior to this study, no full assessment of the income derived from forest-derived goods and services had beenundertaken in the forestry sector or other sectors. The only fgure available hadbeen the offcial ESNA estimate (MOFEC, 2015) of the contribution of the forestryindustry to GDP (3.8% in 2012-13). By assessing the full contribution of forests tomarket and non-market income, a more complete picture of their economic importance emerges.

This report analyses whether increased efficiency in forestry operations and forest product processing and utilization are interesting REDD+ policies and measures for the Government of Kenya to pursue, with the potential to attract public and/or private investments to enable REDD+ implementation. In particular, the report focuses on the extent to which efficiency improvements could address supply deficiency in the forest sector, thereby reducing pressures on existing forests and related emissions.

Improving Efficiency in Forestry Operations and Forest Product Processing in Kenya: A Viable REDD+ Policy and Measure This report analyses whether increased efficiency in forestry operations and forest product processing and utilization are interesting REDD+ policies and measures for the Government of Kenya to pursue, with the potential to attract public and/or private investments to enable REDD+ implementation. In particular, the report focuses on the extent to which efficiency improvements could address supply deficiency in the forest sector, thereby reducing pressures on existing forests and related emissions.

Escenarios de Deforestación Futura en Paraguay El análisis histórico del uso y cambio de uso de la tierra, así como la preparación de escenarios espaciales futuros de deforestación y degradación del bosque servirán para identificar áreas prioritarias de acción, analizar los posibles impactos de políticas de desarrollo en la conservación de bosques y definir aquellas políticas de REDD+ que contribuyan a la estabilización de las fronteras de deforestación y que maximicen la suma de beneficios ambientales y sociales que se pueden generar a partir de un esquema REDD+.

La generación de escenarios de deforestación es imprescindible para entender áreas de alto riesgo y que meritan intervenciones tempranas. Si se asume que la implementación plena de un programa REDD+ que alcance todo el territorio del país puede tardar varios años en materializarse, entonces la secuencia geográfica de intervenciones, es decir, donde se debe implementar primero, toma gran valor. El avance de la deforestación en los próximos 5 a 10 años puede ser importante y por consiguiente también el daño ecosistémico que esta trae aparejado.
