Slide 5
At the end of this session, learners will be able to: Explain
the importance of the regulatory framework (jurisdictional and
sector) that will guide the LELUP. Identify limitations and
boundaries within which the LELUP must be developed.

Slide 7
NOYES Examine the jurisdictions, sectors, policies and scales
that will define the Enabling Environment for the planning process,
planning decisions and ultimately the land use agreement.
Slide 8
Land tenure is usually a bundle of rights: Statutory or de jure
rights De facto rights
Slide 9
Legal Pluralism is when two or more systems co-exist or
interact. Tenure Security is the certainty of a persons or
institutions rights to land that are recognized by others. What is
the implication for climate change on tenure regimes and tenure
security?

commission, authority, association) Local (e.g. land and water
management group) Basin management strategies and plans

compact; national basin management plan Sub-basin management plan
or strategy, large sub-watershed or sub-aquifer or lake management

Box 1: Selected Asian National Commitments and Low Emission
Development Strategies Cambodias National Green Growth Roadmap
(2009) provides no emission reduction target but commits to
low-carbon green growth. Chinas in associating with the Copenhagen
Accord committed to a 40 to 45 per cent emission reduction per unit
of GDP by 2020. Chinas 12 th Five-Year-Plan, adopted in 2011, set
an interim emission reduction target by 17% by 2015. Indias
National Action Plan on Climate Change commits to reducing
emissions per unit of GDP by 20 to 25% by 2020. Indonesias National
Action Plan for Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions (RAN-GRK)
commits to a 26 to 41% emission reduction by 2020. Lao PDRs
National Strategy on Climate Change (2010) provides no emission
reduction target, but commits to low-carbon economic growth.
Malaysias has committed to a 40% reduction in emissions by 2020 and
is preparing a roadmap to achieve this target. A National Policy on
Climate Change was released in 2009. Papua New Guineas Preliminary
Climate Compatible Development Plan (2009) commits to a 50%
emission reductions by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2050 Philippiness
has committed to 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 and has passed
the Philippine Climate Change Act and released the National
Framework on Climate Change (2010-2022) and the National Climate
Change Action Plan (2011-2028) Vietnams National Green Growth
Strategy commits to a 8 to 10% reduction in emissions by 2020.

Vietnam GHG Target: 8 to 10% reduction in emissions by 2020
Vietnam Sector Target: 20% Reduction in Ag&Rural Development
Provencial Target: Maintain 61% Forest Cover by 2015 Commune:
17,300 ha production forest
Slide 25
What are your national current policies that restrict or set a
limit on GHG emissions? How will these policies impact on local
(Provincial and/or district) low emission land use planning
efforts?

Slide 31
Siloed information and data Limited knowledge on climate change
mitigation options
Slide 32
Stuff is happening: A growing number of national policies and
emission reduction targets have been set that can incentivize sub-
national low emission planning efforts and be used to facilitate
cooperation between sectors and jurisdictions.
Slide 33
Understanding the jurisdictions and sectors we work with is
essential. The connections and links between jurisdictions and
sectors will be influenced by scale and policies Understanding the
connections between these four factors is essential in
understanding the Enabling Environment

Strategies Throughout South East Asia there are successful examples
of low emission land use planning at a variety of scales: At the
local/community level, the Lao PDR National Agriculture and
Forestry Research Institute have produced the excellent document:
Handbook on Participatory Land Use Planning. Methods and tools
developed and tested in Viengkham District, Luang Prabang

tools developed and tested in Viengkham District, Luang Prabang
Province At the sub-national level, the World Agroforestry Centre
have produced some excellent guidance and support in: Indonesia

have all produced Green Growth strategies or Low Emission
