REDD after Copenhagen : REED après Copenhague : la voie à suivre

8 Apr 2010

Countries agreed to continue the work of the two AWGs, and countries made submissions to the UNFCCC in February 2010 on the work programme of the two working groups. [...] Paragraph 6 – ―We recognize the crucial role of reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation and the need to enhance removals of greenhouse gas emission by forests and agree on the need to provide positive incentives to such actions through the immediate establishment of a mechanism including REDD-plus, to enable the mobilization of financial resources from developed countries.‖. [...] The safeguards text includes reference to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and reference to biological diversity and ecosystem services and precluding the conversion of natural forests. [...] The connection between the work of the AWG-LCA and the work to be undertaken to implement the Copenhagen Accord is not clear. [...] The discussions on the LULUCF rules are followed closely by many REDD negotiators because the outcomes of the LULUCF talks under the AWG- KP could influence the negotiations on a REDD framework, particularly with regard to accounting for emissions and removals.
