Reducing Climate Emissions From Deforestation and Land Degradation

Jul 8 2009

In the run-up to this year's climate talks in Copenhagen will climate negotiators be able to agree on a global framework for reducing forest emissions and their role in climate change mitigation?

SciDev.Net (The Science and Development Network) today publishes a spotlight on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in the developing world.

This spotlight offers a genuine international perspective to the debate, with a series of articles and commentaries written by experts including Godwin Kowero, head of the African Forest Forum in Kenya, N.H. Ravindranath and Shamama Afreen, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India, and Roman Czebiniak, policy advisor on climate change and forests for Greenpeace International.

Our spotlight:

explores the role of science in informing REDD;
examines what research is needed to implement it;
considers key issues facing policymakers such as how to marry environmental and livelihood goals;
and highlights the options for different regions of the developing world.
