Abstract
As up to 20 percent of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions result from deforestation activities, the reduction of emissions from deforestation and degradation of forests (REDD) is a major theme of the ongoing negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This briefing looks at the fundamental issues underlying REDD, as well as the challenges involved in current proposals to implement a trading scheme for REDD credits.
