NCS Funding Taxonomy

Yes, funding via a market mechanism would be included under the environmental and carbon markets bucket. However, the focus countries of this study have REDD+ payments through international aid (and therefore do not fall under market mechanisms). LEAF was not a current funding source for any of the focus countries in this phase and is thus not reflected in our study.

Frequently asked questions

NCS Funding Taxonomy

REDD+ and LEAF overlapasLEAF is a funding mechanism for REDD+. Additionally,both REDD+ generally and LEAF specifically have market and non-market elements. Should the market elements be included under the carbon markets section?

Are you going to align the taxonomy to reflect the 'gold standard'taxonomy for conservation finance?

The private column in thetaxonomy looks short.Are you considering financial solutions for agricultural producersto switch to sustainable production?

NCS Current Funding Estimates & Approach

Is possible tosplitout theall the individual funding sources (Adaptation Fund, GCF, GEF, etc.for India) as aspecific line item under international aid?

Is there alist of all funding sources in an annexsomewhere?

How is confidenceof the funding estimateassessed? Are you using buckets (25%, 50%, 75%) or is it more complex than that?

Can we also assess AFOLU vs non-AFOLUfunding? E.g.,if a fund is focused on agriculture, with only 50% going to NCS and the rest going to other ag., that’s different from a general climate fund that has 50% to NCS?

How do we account for the fact that some programs are funding NCS without being intended as NCS payments?(e.g.,conservation programs)

Are you analyzing funding for enforcement/oversight of NCS programs?

Have you looked into AITA for public funding?

NCS Funding Efficiency

How is efficiency defined? Commitments vs disbursement? Is there a time horizon in this? (E.g.,not spent after X years?)

Can we incorporate efficiency of funding for indigenous communities?

New Funding Sources

How is feasibility to implement of new funding sources decided? Who decides this?

Negative Flows

Are thereany positive flows that are dependent on negative flows?E.g.,in the United States, building a highway (negativeimpact) is tied to wetland banking (positive flow).

Can we also identify top companies within harmful industries?That would be useful for our corporate engagement team to keep in mind when we are approached by them.

Are we looking at political appetite and/or industry lobbying power for negative subsidies?

Based on thesocial implicationsof rural development,is this report examining feasibility around social acceptanceorjust usingan economic lens?
