Seeing REDD Globally and from the Ground-Up: Connecting Projects, Finance and Policy

Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and Camco International

Location: 328, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius

We will review:

The need to appreciate the relationship between forests, people, agriculture and livelihoods
The need for pragmatic solutions and learning through experience
The need to keep methodological and technical challenges in perspective
The need to confront and manage risk rather than risk doing nothing
The need to incentivize environmental and social co-benefits
The need to envision REDD as a process that builds over time, in phases
The need to build markets, market-linked financing and voluntary approaches
The need to appreciate the potential role of both public and private finance
The need to combine forest offsets to deeper cuts by developed countries
The need to be realistic about what carbon markets can and cannot be expected to deliver
