National clarification: Cancun Safeguard (A), in the context of Viet Nam, means that the specific PaMs set out in the NRAP, PRAPs and REDD+ programs are expected to be consistent with, or complement the objectives of Viet Nam’s national forest strategy, plan and programs, and their guiding principles (which include rational use of natural resources), as required by the Constitution, as well as the objectives of the 17 international conventions and agreements identified as relevant to REDD+.
Cancun Safeguard (B) - Transparent and effective national forest governance structures, taking into account national legislation and sovereignty.
Respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and members of local communities, by taking into account relevant international obligations, national circumstances and laws.
The full and effective participation of relevant stakeholders, in particular indigenous peoples and local communities, in REDD+ actions
Protection and conservation of natural forests and their ecosystem services, enhancing other social and environmental benefits
Address the risks of reversals - If the intervention is in part or in whole reversed, the climate benefits of the REDD+ intervention are lost through the loss of forest carbon stocks.
Identifying instances of displacement so that steps can be taken to address them
