Modelling Forest Fragmentation and Carbon Emissions for REDD plus
During COP15, Parties agreed that reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancing “removals of greenhouse gas emission by forests” (REDD plus) in developing countries through positive incentives under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was capable of dealing with global emissions. As REDD plus seeks to lower emission from stopping deforestation and forest degradation, ecosystem-based benefits also could be part of these efforts and...

Mapeo de Actores y experiencias en REDD+ en Ecuador
A nivel global, en los últimos años surge cada vez con más intensidad un reconocimiento que los países tropicales necesitarán apoyo económico e incentivos para Reducir las Emisiones de Deforestación y Degradación contribuyendo a la conservación, manejo sostenible de los bosques e incremento de los stocksde carbono forestal en países en desarrollo (REDD+)1. Aunque no se cumplieron las expectativas de muchos para que en la pasada Conferencia de las Partes la Convención...
The Global Political Economy of REDD+: Engaging Social Dimensions in the Emerging Green Economy
