How Will We Know? Taking Credible Forest Actions

World Resources Institute

Location: 327, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius

The current focus on determining the credibility of forest actions for climate relates to quantifying reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) at the sub national and national level. However, this may not suffice for capturing the range of activities countries may need to ensure that forests are sustainably managed, and to ensure the credibility of mitigation actions. In this session WRI will discuss several methods being developed to ensure that credible forest actions are resulting from a UNFCCC forest mechanism.
