There has been considerable research into the critical role that
forests play in regulating climate. There is also a growing body
of evidence pointing to the significant negative impacts that
climate change itself is likely to have on forests, especially in
relation to the way that forests interact with the planet
REDD is designed to reward those who deforest, not those who
already protect the forests. It also has several significant inbuilt flaws that mean it is most unlikely to have a positive impact on climate change. In particular, it permits the replacement of natural tropical forest with plantations; and it would increase net emissions of carbon to the atmosphere if carbon offsetting were involved.
The ecological, political, and financial stars are aligned for governments to take meaningful action on behalf of the climate, forests, and impoverished communities around the world.
