THE LAKE AND THE BASIN

LVBC

Four main types impacting the LVB:

Stresses within the lake – over-fishing, untreated liquid wastes, water hyacinth, over-abstraction

Stresses on littoral zones – construction and farming in shoreline, conversion of wetlands, poor solid wastes management

Stresses from the basin – land degradation, deforestation, inflow of water hyacinth, pollution from agro-chemicals, sediment loads, poor solid waste management

Stresses from outside the basin – nutrients (N and P) transported into the basin by air, climate change

Deteriorating water quality – caused by increased sedimentation, and pollution and eutrophication

Fluctuating lake levels – due to unsustainable LVB water management practices

Overexploitation of natural resources – caused by increased basin population and competition over natural resources

Resurgence of water hyacinth

Climate change

CHALLENGES: Environmental stresses in the Basin

LVBC

• Stresses within the lake

Stresses from the basin

Stresses on littoral zones

Stresses from outside the basin –

Environmental stress within the LVB

LVBC Environmental Stress in LVB

• Stresses within the lake – – e.g., over-fishing, oil spills, untreated

liquid wastes, water hyacinth, over-abstraction of water from the lake and its basin.

– Fish Frame-survey 2012 shows overfishing of through increase of illegal gillnet by 26% but mostly for 2 ½” and 3 ½”There was a serious increase in legal nets of size > 10 by 343% and the 10” by 156% compared to 2010 Survey.

– In 2005 average BOD in, 5000Kg day respectively in major cities

Littoral zones e.g., construction and farming in shoreline, conversion of wetlands, poor solid wastes management.estimated about 75% of Lake Victoria’s wetland area has been affected significantly by human activity

• Stresses from outside the basin nutrients (N

and P) transported into the basin by air, climate change. In 2005/6 estimated atmospheric depositions accounted for about 60% of the total Phosphorus and over 80% of the total N loading to the lake.

• Stresses from the basin– e.g., land degradation, deforestation,

inflow of water hyacinth, pollution from agro-chemicals, sediment loads, poor solid waste management.

– Water hyacinth coverage in 2010 Kenya 10,000ha and TZ=540ha.

– The deforestation rate is estimated to be 55,000 to 100,000 ha per year, based on habitat change from 1990-1995.

LVBC OPPORTUNITIES

LVBC

LVBC

REDD+ refers to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation and also sustainable forest management, conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.

A REDD+ program can encompass a range of activities within a designated area, e.g: tree planting, agroforestry, training & education, microfinance.

Governments – including Uganda & Kenya are developing national REDD+ strategies applying general UNFCCC guidelines and with donor support.

Carbon markets can help to finance sustainable land management activities for the benefit of communities, global and local environment.

Sub-national (project-based) initiatives can help increase national capacity, and provide additional resources to the national REDD+ program.

The LVBC would like to work with relevant partners to develop a trans-boundary, sub-national REDD+ initiative in the Mt. Elgon area.

Introduction to REDD+006 - REDD+ FOR MT. ELGON ECOSYSTEM PROJECT CONCEPT NOTE

LVBC

An international performance-based system is being developed for REDD+ under the UNFCCC.

Voluntary carbon market standards have methodologies that allow sub-national projects to receive carbon credits for REDD+ activities. These follow the same principles that non-forestry UNFCCC carbon credit projects.

Long-term the funding is likely to come from the private sector, through markets. Total value of carbon market in 2011 was over 176 Billion US dollars.

The Mt Elgon REDD+ initiative will seek to use voluntary carbon market funding for activities, AND will complement the national systems that are being developed.

REDD+ Contd..

LVBC

1. To create a framework for a trans-boundary sub-national REDD+ programme including shared methodology components, monitoring system, and harmonized governance mechanisms.

2. Implement at least 2 distinct REDD+ projects, one in Kenya and in Uganda, which can be a national REDD+ demonstration pilot for each country.

1. To define & agree on ecosystem boundary, map activities, and land use patterns.

2. To establish appropriate institutional infrastructure3. To assess potential benefits from, and negative impacts of,

REDD+ activities:4. To assist with the identification, implementation and

management of project activities by REDD+ proponents.5. To assist with the promotion and funding of the REDD+

projects.

Carbon Markets: What are they?

LVBC

• Kenya developed its National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) in 2010, and other policy initiatives to tackle climate change issues have since been developed. REDD+ is an important component of Kenya’s strategy. Vision 2030 also enshrines relevant environmental goals, e.g. in protecting Kenya’s “Water Towers”.

• Kenya an Uganda is supported in national REDD+ strategy development from the World Bank and other donors. GoK intends to

develop sub-national pilots.• The National REDD+ initiative is with the Ministry of Water and

Environment in Uganda. • A number of consultations have already been carried out, lead by IUCN in

this region.

REDD+ in Kenya and Uganda (1/2)

LVBC

• Initiated in 2011 by MERECP, and finalized in 2012.• Mt Elgon is a critical, shared forest area and watershed for both

Kenya and Uganda and it is under threat.• Strong support from both Governments, input from NGOs (e.g.

IUCN), input from communities (workshops).• Discussions on the main drivers of forest cover change, existing

interventions and possible new interventions.• Strategy suggested phasing, local governance structures, benefit

sharing mechanisms, safeguards and next steps.

Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms is a perennial plant native to tropical America.

First noted in East Africa in the 1930s and in Lake Victoria in 1989- Uganda& Tanzania and in 1990 in Kenya

Officially recognized a noxious invasive weed in the late 1980’s In Uganda, weed control efforts began in 1993 by involving the local

communities. In 1995 Tanzania implemented an integrated noxious weed management

control (bioligical, manual &, quarantine regulations and s control of nutrient influxes )

In Kenya the weed coverage was at 17,200ha by 1998 (4Njoka and Kusewa, 2006).

Weed control involved biological methods using weevils and mites and a mechanical harvesting at peak infestation in 1998

mechanical removal supported by biological control and sustainable manual removal programmes are the most viable options

need for strong coordination of weed control programs by the lake basin governments.
