GHG Program & Issue Carbon Credits

​

The platform is operated by the Satoyama Mace Initiative team as a non-profit platform to serve the global practice of the Satoyama Initiative and biodiversity. The issuance and certification of carbon credits create a sustainable economic chain and implement the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity of the 15th UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) global agreement. The reduction plan implementation complies with CBD, KMBGF, and SDG and has obtained sustainable development standard certification.

 

Who to involve:

Stakeholder representatives in this process may include:

• Government and other sectors that impact the environment include agriculture, fisheries, forestry, infrastructure, energy, finance, etc.

• Government and other sectors that benefit from conserving biodiversity, such as health departments, disaster risk planning, culture, etc.

• Local government representatives to ensure representation and coordination at the national level and to facilitate the development of d local biodiversity strategies and action plans (LBSAPs)

• Representatives of neighboring countries, in cases where transboundary cooperation is being explored

• Private sector representation from sectors such as agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, fisheries, financial institutions, mining, local government, energy, transport, etc., as well as private landowners and private protected areas

• Civil society organizations and representatives of stakeholder groups, especially those that are known to be underrepresented

• Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs), women and girls, the elderly, youth, and anyone who is unfamiliar with the workings of government

 

Most countries consist mostly of multifunctional landscapes and seascapes, and their coastal waters consist mostly of multifunctional seascapes. These landscapes and seascapes may cross national and other boundaries. That’s too much for a government to manage, so landscape approaches cannot be applied everywhere immediately. The actions of SEPLS Carbon Credit Regional Revitalization in SEPLS Carbon Credit Experiment Promotion Center to reach these targets should be implemented consistently and in harmony with the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Protocols and other relevant international obligations, considering national circumstances, priorities, and socioeconomic conditions. Recognition of the efforts of local proponents of landscape approaches can encourage them to continue and expand their efforts and can serve as a model for others through the model of the carbon credit program. SEPLS carbon credit regional revitalization approaches are tools and solutions for implementation and mainstreaming. SEPLS regional revitalization approaches in carbon credit programs reduce threats to biodiversity and meet people’s needs through sustainable use and benefit-sharing by designing and shaping the implementation, corresponding to Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).

 

E-1 Biodiversity Carbon Reduction Plan

The carbon reduction plan is derived from the carbon reduction technology and methodology based on Satoyama Initiative that is linked to biodiversity, the development of biodiversity carbon sequestration technology, and related application technology methodologies. The carbon reduction plan can only be implemented after it has been reviewed, externally audited, and verified. Stakeholders must pay the review and external audit fees for biodiversity carbon reduction plans.

 

E-2 Biodiversity carbon rights issuance and certification

Based on the biodiversity carbon reduction plan implementation report, after verification and external review, biodiversity carbon credits will be issued and certified based on the amount of carbon reduction. The issuance of biodiversity carbon credits requires payment of review and issuance fees.

​

The overall process is presented as follows (the following Figure Overall Certification Process) in the Guidelines for SEPLS CCRR Certification Proces, and the SEPLS CCRR Fee Schedule is attached below.
