Deforestation and emerging greenhouse gas compliance regimes : toward a global environmental law of forests, carbon and climate governance / From The Hague to Copenhagen : why it failed then and why it could be different / The European Union's position on REDD financing / International forest carbon in the US Congress : a survey of key congressional staff / Preparing for REDD : the forest carbon partnership facility / Incentives to reduce emissions from deforestation : a stock-flow approach with target reductions / Towards a sound REDD : ensuring globally consistent reference scenarios and safeguarding sustainability co-benefits / Financing global forests : the Eliasch review / REDD and the global carbon market : the role of banking / Options on REDD as a hedging tool for post-Kyoto climate policy / Epilogue : REDD past, present, and future / William Boyd -- Federica Bietta -- Pedro Piris-Cabezas -- Lou Leonard, Raymond Kopp and Nigel Purvis -- Benoît Bosquet, Stefano Pagiola and André Aquino -- Andrea Cattaneo -- Michael Obersteiner ... [et al.] -- Graham Floater and Duncan Stone -- Pedro Piris-Cabezas -- Alexander Golub -- Valentina Bosetti and Ruben Lubowski.
"Deforestation and forest degradation have long been recognized as environmental problems, with concerns over conservation of natural habitats and biological diversity capturing both scientific and public attention. More recently, the debate over tropical forest conservation has radically shifted to the approximately fifteen percent of global greenhouse gas emissions that are caused by deforestation and forest degradation, and to the potential synergies from integrating forest management with climate change policies. The goal of this book is to shed light on some of the major concerns, issues and challenges related to the inclusion of forest carbon in international climate policies, as well as to illustrate some of the potential solutions and paths forward. In addition, the book describes the status of REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) in international climate policy negotiations, providing an historical perspective and highlighting the current positions of key international players that will frame the future debate at the national, regional and international level."--P.
