Moving Ahead with REDD: Issues, Options and Implications of MRV, Financing and Other Items Under Negotiation
Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)
Location: 323, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius
REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) is based on a simple idea: pay countries (and projects) to reduce CO2 emissions from the forest sector. Nevertheless, moving ahead with REDD raises many hard questions: How are emissions reductions monitored, reported and verified (MRV)? How are REDD activities funded? How are reference levels set? How are non-permanence and leakage accounted? How can REDD co-benefits be achieved?
This side event presents the options and reviews their implications on Effectiveness in reducing emissions, cost Efficiency and Equity (the 3E criteria). Anyone involved in the REDD debate and negotiations would benefit from our concise presentation of key REDD issues.
