Resumen
Descripción
For Ghana's national REDD plus
scheme to be viable, the rights to carbon or the emission
credits generated must be clearly delineated, and be
accompanied by equitable and efficient benefit sharing
systems. There are a number of approaches that the State can
use to determine whom to vest the right to carbon in. If
defined as a natural resource, the state would be vested
with the rights. If recognized as an ecosystem service, then
the right to the benefits would be vested in the owner of
the trees. In the latter case, the beneficiaries will differ
depending on whether the trees are naturally occurring or
planted. The main opportunities in REDD plus in Ghana are in
the forestation and reforestation of forestlands and
degraded lands. It is possible that REDD plus could provide
additional resources to build on existing systems that
promote tree planting on degraded land, such as the National
Forest Plantation Development Plan (NFPDP), by providing
additional incentives in reserve and off-reserve areas.
