Carbon emissions

Entre avril et août 2009, The Forests Dialogue (TFD) a organisé quatre dialogues sur les cadres de financement et d’application de la REDDplus dont les résultats sont communiqués dans le présent rapport. Ce dernier n’est pas un travail de recherche : il traduit les perceptions, opinions et recommandations exprimées par tous ceux qui ont participé aux dialogues.

This report presents the outcome of four dialogues on frameworks for the financing and implementation of REDD-plus, which were organized by The Forests Dialogue (TFD) between April and August 2009. This publication is not a research study but reflects the perceptions, opinions and recommendations expressed by the participants of these dialogues.

In the last decade biodiversity loss and persistent poverty in developing countries have been recognised as major international problems that require urgent attention. However, the nature and scale of the links between these two problems, and between efforts to address them, has been the subject of much heated debate. Understanding the different elements of this debate is critical for the move towards constructive solutions.

This publication identifies and analyzes critical issues in the formulation and implementation of national and sub-national legal frameworks for REDD activities. It is based on substantive findings from four national case studies (Brazil, Cameroon, Guyana and Papua New Guinea) chosen for their varying geographies, forest cover and deforestation rates, and stages of REDD preparations.
