Reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD): a climate change mitigation strategy on a critical track [1]

Following recent discussions, there is hope that a mechanism for reduction of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) will be agreed by the Parties of the UNFCCC at their 15th meeting in Copenhagen in 2009 as an eligible action to prevent climate changes and global warming in post-2012 commitment periods. Countries introducing a REDD regime in order to generate benefits need to implement sound monitoring and reporting systems and specify the associated uncertainties.
