Strengthening Pakistan's Capacities for DemoNstrating REDD+ Systems and Accessing Result-based Payments

The project aims to enhance Pakistan's capacity to access result-based payments (RBPs) by validating REDD+ systems and implementing complementary mitigation activities. It focuses on filling technical gaps in the Warsaw Framework, such as refining Forest Reference Emission Levels (FREL) and establishing a national carbon registry. The project will use the Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Project (TBTTP) as a platform to demonstrate the reduction of deforestation drivers through the promotion of alternative energy (solar, biogas, micro-hydel) and the improvement of non-timber forest product (NTFP) value chains. With a total cost of USD 17.787 million, the project expects to sequester 459,520 tCO2eq and benefit approximately 2.55 million people.

• The project aims to achieve a mitigation impact of 459,520 tCO2eq over its lifespan, which represents approximately 4.4% of the total current emissions from Pakistan's forestry sector.
• Pakistan's forestry sector emissions were 10.39 MT CO2 in 2015, accounting for 2.5% of total emissions, and are projected to increase to 29 MT CO2 by 2030.
• The project is structured into two components: Component 1 focuses on technical readiness and compliance with the Warsaw Framework (e.g., FREL improvement, national carbon registry, and RBP proposal preparation), while Component 2 focuses on demonstration activities at TBTTP sites to address deforestation drivers.
• To reduce pressure on natural forests, the project will promote alternative and efficient energy options, including solar, biogas, and micro-hydel systems, and improve the value chain for non-timber forest products (NTFPs) such as fruits, nuts, and medicinal plants.
• The total indicative project cost is USD 17,787,000, consisting of USD 10,000,000 in requested GCF grants and USD 7,787,000 in co-financing from the Government of Pakistan.
• The project will provide mitigation and adaptation support to an estimated 2.55 million direct and indirect beneficiaries.
