Out of the Woods: A Realistic Role for Tropical Forests in Curbing Global Warming REDD is an option that averts global warming's worst consequences and generates enormous co-benefits for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. A review of the literature, combined with analyses of the data, shows that REDD could substantially decrease the severity of climate change. |

Money for Nothing? Principles and Rules for REDD and their Implications for Protected Areas This paper explains why, given the likely rules governing REDD and the role of carbon markets in them, the benefits to protected areas are not at all certain. They may not come directly to the protected areas and those who own, develop or maintain them, but rather indirectly, through national... |

Progress on Climate and REDD in the United States Congress Promising proposals of climate legislation in the United States include significant support for REDD. These bills show that the U.S. Congress is not only serious about reducing heat-trapping emissions, but is also discussing creative ways to support REDD. |

Estimating the Cost and Potential of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation REDD has gained momentum in international climate negotiations as a cost-effective way to reduce heat-trapping emissions. Recent data on costs show that relatively modest funding can greatly reduce deforestation's contribution to dangerous climate change. |
