UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre

Location: 321, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius

UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre will be launching an introductory Biodiversity and Carbon Atlas at this meeting. If REDD is to deliver both reduced carbon emissions and benefits for biodiversity, then decision making will need to be informed by an understanding of the spatial relationship between areas of high carbon stock and areas of biodiversity value. This atlas is intended to be primarily illustrative, demonstrating can be done using existing datasets and mapping tools. The atlas is focused on the tropics and will include maps at regional scale and of individual countries.
