The Brazilian state of Acre in the Amazon -- home to the Sky Rainforest Rescue project -- is considered a global leader in defining a REDD+ policy framework. Acre's 2010 law that created the Environmental Service Incentives System (SISA in Portuguese), sets out a framework for valuing a range of ecosystem services. Its REDD+ programme, ISA Carbon, is the most developed component of the SISA to date. In this webinar, Anthony Anderson, Senior Specialist in Forests and Climate at WWF-Brazil, discusses the design and early institutional structure of ISA Carbon and identifies its strengths and challenges, based on a report recently released in English and Portuguese, Environmental service incentives in the state of Acre, Brazil: Lessons for policies, programmes and strategies for jurisdiction-wide REDD+. Anthony also shares insights for the design of other national and subnational REDD+ mechanisms around the world.
