This report provides an overview of Nepal’s initiatives on readiness for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), the political and socioeconomic context in which they are taking place, and their implications for conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing cou
This report maps for the fourth consecutive year BFI climate financial flows to developing countries. During 2011 the members of the working group accounted for nearly 10 billion USD of climate change finance to developing countries, and 13% of all public climate finance. 74% of these funds were allocated to mitigation and 26% to adaptation.
This paper considers developments to date in the UNFCCC and in the REDD+ partnership and provides analysis on possible future options for REDD-plus, agriculture and land use.
Doha marks the first stop on a roadmap to a post-2020 climate regime. The European Union could pave the way by building bridges with partners in key areas such as mitigation ambition, adaptation finance and deforestation.
The design and implementation of low-emission development plans (LEDPs) and frameworks for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) have become central elements of climate change policy in developing countries.
The establishment of the Clean Development Mechanism has been one of the successes of the Kyoto Protocol. It has helped to build experience, capacity and comfort with the use of market mechanisms to reduce emissions. This will be useful when implementing future market mechanisms.
This new report published by Forest Trends’ Ecosystem Marketplace, aggregates data from 415 individual forest carbon projects historically. It examines a variety of strategies for injecting financial resources into projects that save or plant forests that capture carbon.
Forest governance is identified as critical to the success of REDD+. Implementation of robust REDD+ strategy is possible through Community Based Forest Governance.
The objective of this paper is to examine the methodological issues such as scale, baseline reference, measuring, monitoring, and verifications of the REDD+
