Scope for Improvement: Which Forest-Carbon Activities Should be Included in the Post-2012 Climate Agreement?
WWF – World Wide Fund for Nature
Location: 324, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius
In 2005, the Coalition for Rainforest Nations proposed including a mechanism to reward developing countries that reduce emissions from deforestation in the post-2012 climate agreement. More recently, in Accra, there was recognition of the role of other forest-carbon activities in mitigating climate change, such as maintaining and enhancing forest-carbon stocks. WWF, joined by a range of organizations, will lead a debate on the scope of forest-carbon activities post-2012. The discussion will include: What are the implications on climate mitigation and co-benefits? How does the ability to account for carbon benefits compare? Would one mechanism or separate mechanisms be most appropriate?

Individual presentations and timeframe to be confirmed. The session will include a brief introduction on the different forest-carbon (and terrestrial-carbon) activities that could potentially be considered for inclusion; and a summary of how the various proposals to date have proposed addressing the question of scope.
This will then be followed by discussion of a number of key elements with regards to the implications of the scope. |
