Presentation by Ernesto Giron and Glenn Hyman at 2011 ESRI International User Conference in San Diego CA July 14, 2011

1. Web tool for REDD monitoring and planning Ernesto Giron Glenn Hyman 2011 Esri International User Conference Climate Change and Agriculture: Assessing Impact and Adaptation Options Wednesday, July 13, 2011 San Diego, CA

2. Agenda Overview What’s REDD+? Mapaz in the REDD+ context Basic features and functionalities User data, map layers and basemaps Spatial analysis and queries GIS services, help and others What’s next?

3. Overview Agreements to address climate change have sparked interest in REDD+ Some technical expertise required We developed a tool for visualizing and querying deforestation Assessing biomass and carbon emissions Calculating opportunity costs of avoided deforestation

4. What’s REDD+? REDD+ is a global mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, as well as the conservation and sustainable management of forests, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks. The scheme offers one of the cheapest options for reducing greenhouse gases.

5. REDD+ (Cont) Recently, there has been a notable interest in mechanismsforreducingemissionsfromdeforestation and forestdegradation (REDD) as anopportunitytomitigateclimatechange, initiativesthat in the local contextcouldbeestablished as incentive paymentsforavoideddeforestation.

6. Mapaz in the REDD+ Context MAPAZ: Environment and PopulationMappingfor a Sustainable Amazon isaninteractivemap server forresearch, planning and publicpolicydesign, supporting natural resources and conservationinitiativesforecosystemservicesmanagement in the Amazon

7. Mapaz in the REDD+ Context (Cont) Satellite imagery and geographic information on population density, biodiversity, biomass, land cover and sustainable development in the Amazon Calculates rates of past and future forest loss Estimates opportunity cost of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) in user-defined areas

29. Introduction Growing interest in payment for environmental services (PES) Range of options, opportunities and possibilities not widely known. Where is deforestation likely to occur in the future? Where might a project to be successful? An online tool to investigate deforestation and the economics of reducing it in the Amazon.
