The End of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon Brazil has two major opportunities to end the clearing of its Amazon forests and to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions substantially. The first is its formal announcement within UN climate treaty negotiations in 2008 of an Amazon deforestation reduction target, which prompted Norway to commit $...

Responding to climate change and the global land crisis: REDD+, market transformation and low-emissions rural development Climate change and rapidly escalating global demand for food, fuel, fibre and feed present seemingly contradictory challenges to humanity. Can greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land-use, more than one-fourth of the global total, decline as growth in land-based production accelerates? This review...	Journal Article	2 May 2013 - 10:45
The Potential of REDD to Conserve the Amazon River System River systems, such as the Amazon, are closely interdependent with riparian and upland forests, making them vulnerable to changes in forest cover and land use. By reducing deforestation and forest degradation REDD can contribute significantly to maintaining the stability of flow...	Report	16 Feb 2010 - 17:43
Smallholders, Rural Development and REDD in the Brazilian Amazon REDD discussions with regard to forest peoples are based on an implicit policy of command and control that combines investments in government monitoring and enforcement capacity with direct economic incentives to forest stakeholders. There is relatively little emphasis on addressing the...	Report	16 Feb 2010 - 16:52
Getting REDD Right: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) This paper synthesizes principles and concepts about how carbon market compensation for reduced deforestation -- market-based REDD -- can help cut global emissions equitably and effectively, while contributing to development goals, protecting biodiversity and watersheds and benefitting indigenous...

REDD+ in the Post-Copenhagen World: Recommendations for Interim Public Finance REDD+ holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve the livelihoods of forest-dependent people, and conserve biodiversity. The interim public funding announced during and since the COP15 could play a strategic role in helping to realize this potential. The overall goal of this...	Report	13 May 2010 - 20:37
REDD+ in the Post-Copenhagen World: Recommendations for Interim Finance Recommendations for funding over the next three years include the need to develop "compliance-grade" REDD+ credits that could potentially sync with future regulatory carbon markets, while building the capacity for national REDD+ frameworks. Supporting state and province-wide initiatives...	Report	16 May 2010 - 21:33
Linking Sustainable Agriculture with REDD: Opportunities for the FIP	Report	27 Apr 2012 - 09:39
RE-FRAMING REDD+: Unlocking the potential of jurisdictional REDD+ as a policy framework for low-emission rural development: research results and recommendations for governments REDD+ is at a crucial crossroads. It’s early promise of providing a global framework thatwould deliver fair compensation to those developing nations that succeed in reducing theirgreenhouse gas emissions from deforestation1 and forest degradation must be re-examined.After six years of...
