REDD alert: SciDev.Net investigates the means for reducing forest emissions in developing countries
Dear Colleague,
In the run-up to this year’s climate talks in Copenhagen, governments the world over are proposing strategies for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). Will climate negotiators be able to agree on a global framework for reducing forest emissions and their role in climate change mitigation?
Today we publish a spotlight on reducing forest emissions in the developing world.
This spotlight provides a series of articles and commentaries written by international experts that:
* explore the role of science in informing REDD;
* examine what research is needed to implement it;
* consider key issues facing policymakers such as how to marry environmental and livelihood goals;
* and highlight the options for different regions of the developing world.
