Implications of Proposed REDD Mechanisms for Biodiversity Conservation and Human Well-Being

Conservation International

Location: 119, 1st floor, Collegium Maius

This side event will explore the proposed mechanisms for REDD and their implications for biodiversity conservation and human well-being through a series of presentations that introduce the topic and issues, share initial results of a REDD mechanisms analysis, and explore some specific examples at the country level. Following the presentations, the session will be open for discussion related to the biodiversity and social implications of the different aspects of REDD proposals and how best to ensure that REDD achieves the greatest benefits for climate mitigation, human well-being and biodiversity conservation.
