Benefit Sharing
The distribution of REM MT resources was defined based on a study by the Amazon Research Institute (IPAM) that used the “Stock-Flow” approach to measure the contribution of different groups to forest protection, both those that maintained the forests and those that reduced their deforestation rates.
- Carbon stock (conserved forests): It rewards indigenous peoples and traditional communities that keep the forest standing, ensuring the maintenance of stored carbon.
- Carbon flux (deforestation reduction): It benefits farmers and rural producers who have reduced their deforestation rates, contributing to the reduction of emissions.
This logic guided the allocation of resources as follows:
The investment distribution strategy for Phase I of the REM MT Program was presented to the state's REDD+ governance bodies: the Mato Grosso Climate Change Forum, the REDD+ Management Council, and the REM MT State Management Committee, which defined the following benefit distribution:
of the resources were allocated to institutional strengthening, supporting agencies responsible for implementing environmental and REDD+, social, and economic development policies, as well as monitoring and monitoring public policies. They also support the strengthening of the PCI Strategy
Of the resources, 100% were allocated to the Program's direct beneficiaries, aiming to support small and medium-sized producers, extractive communities, Indigenous peoples, and traditional communities. Furthermore, the program aims to develop innovative technologies and support the development of sustainable markets for the state's commodities.
Phase II of the REM MT Program maintains the benefit sharing approach used in Phase I and maintains the structure organized into four subprograms. This phase has the following distribution:
to the direct beneficiaries of the program, ensuring continuity and new investments for actions to support small and medium-sized producers, extractive communities, indigenous peoples and traditional communities.
to strengthen actions to combat deforestation and structuring public policies of government institutions.
for efficient and transparent implementation of the program, aimed at operational costs, under the management of SEMA's International Programs and Projects Unit.
