Creating Incentives to Avoid Deforestation

This paper is focussed on how the UNFCCC process can create the incentives to make this possible, but that is only part of a solution. To be sustainable in the long term, any measures to address deforestation must have the support of those who live in, and depend on, the forest. Throughout the first half of 2009, all our people will have the opportunity to participate in a nation- wide conversation on how Guyana can play its part.
