Forestry Program, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria

Location: 322, 3rd floor

The REDD mechanism will conserve terrestrial carbon stocks and ecosystem services. However, the integrity of REDD will crucially depend on implementation details. We will show how integrated assessment models can inform effective REDD policy planning and support efficient REDD implementation processes. Baseline setting to measure real efforts in a total land use context, hot spotting of REDD areas, costs of gross and net REDD, monitoring costing and economic mechanism designs to maximize ecosystem services will be discussed. Less REDD Hot Air means more forests conserved.
