Civil society and Indigenous Peoples will present alternative views on the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) debate with a focus on principles and processes that should be considered in the discussion on REDD. Speakers will discuss how to ensure that the development and implementation of REDD does not lead to negative social and environmental consequences.
