    Over half of global greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation come from Indonesia and Brazil, equivalent to the emissions of the United States, China, or the entire global transportation sector. If effective, reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) could significantly reduce global emissions or delay climate change impacts while cleaner technologies are developed. However, there are many open questions around how REDD would work in practice, including how to define and measure reductions, determine appropriate scales of implementation, structure compensation mechanisms, address issues like leakage, and build strong governance capacity in tropical forest countries.

    November 2008

    Over

    half of these emissions come from 2 countries: Indonesia and Brazil.

    Roughly equivalent to: US Emissions Chinas Emissions The entire transportation sector If

    effective, REDD could deepen global emission reductions and/or buy time for clean technology.

    Industrialized country commitments to deep emission reduction targets w/o REDD, developing country actions enable deeper reductions w/ REDD Effective mechanism(s) for compensation that will reduce deforestation and promote reforestation across the entire forest transition curve Building governance capacity for REDD in tropical forest countries REDD implementation that is attentive to distributional equity and consistent with United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
