PRINCÍPIOS DE INTEGRIDADE PARA A REPARTIÇÃO DE BENEFÍCIOS EM SBNS FLORESTAIS VOLTADAS À MITIGAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA

The document outlines a framework for high-integrity benefit-sharing mechanisms (BSMs) in forest-based nature-based solutions. It organizes 12 principles under four values: Impartiality, Accountability, Rights-based approach, and Effectiveness. These principles aim to prevent elite capture and corruption while ensuring that Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) receive fair, transparent, and additive benefits that outweigh the costs of participation.

• The document proposes 12 interdependent principles for benefit-sharing mechanisms (BSMs) organized under four values: Impartiality, Accountability, Rights-based, and Effectiveness.
• Impartiality in BSMs requires deep and meaningful participation, broad and inclusive representation, distributive equity, and a pluralism of values to avoid 'tokenistic' engagement.
• Accountability is achieved through transparency and the implementation of funded, effective grievance redress mechanisms (GRMs) to resolve disputes and repair damages.
• A rights-based approach mandates respect for Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) and the strict application of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), which includes the genuine option to say 'no'.
• For an NbS to be effective, the net socioeconomic benefit at the local level must be positive, meaning benefits must outweigh all associated costs and opportunity trade-offs.
• BSMs must ensure additionality, meaning benefits provided are above what stakeholders would have received without the intervention, and should aim to create positive feedback loops for people and nature.
• The framework emphasizes adaptive management to allow BSMs to respond to changes in science, implementation, or the evolving needs of stakeholders over the project lifecycle.
• Corruption in BSMs primarily manifests as 'elite capture', where powerful interests corrupt decision-making to disproportionately direct benefits to themselves.
