The scope for reducing emissions from forestry and agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon
Center for International Forestry Research, 2012This paper assesses the prospects of mitigating climate change through emission reductions from forestry and agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon.DocumentREDD+ in Vietnam: integrating national and subnational approaches
Forest Trends, 2012According to this report, it is still unclear how a future mechanism on reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+) may be implemented in practice, and in particular how to design REDD+ to deliver ecosystem conservation and restoration in an economically efficient and socially sustainable way.DocumentFinancing options to support REDD+ activities
Centre de cooperation internationale en recherche agronomique pour le Developpement, 2012This report provides an overview of REDD financing options, explains the agreements reached at Cancun and Durban, and outlines the issues that remain to be negotiated if REDD is to succeed. It explains in detail the problems associated with REDD, such as baselines, permanence and leakage, and looks at the various financing proposals.DocumentLessons from REDD+ readiness implementation experience in the Republic of Congo: getting ready for REDD+ under uncertain, national circumstances
Congo Basin Forest Fund, 2012This report presents lessons learned from readiness activities in the Republic of Congo towards reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+). The report reveals progress in technical and scientific capacity building and institutional strengthening.OrganisationCongo Basin Forest Fund (CBFF)
The Congo Basin Forest Fund (CBFF) was launched in 2008 with a grant of £100 million from the governments of the UK and Norway to develop the capacity of the people and institutions of the CongoDocumentProceedings of the first Climate Change Impacts, Mitigation and Adaptation Programme Scientific Conference, 2012

Information from the Norwegian Government and the Ministries, 2012The long-term viability of REDD+ depends on altering business-as-usual activity in sectors currently driving greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from forests. This synthesis report investigates drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.DocumentIndigenous peoples and the green climate fund: a technical briefing for indigenous peoples, policymakers and support groups
Forest Peoples Programme, 2012Through the International Indigenous Peoples’ Forum on Climate Change (IIPFCC), indigenous peoples seek recognition of their contribution to climate change issues and respect for their right to participate in Green Climate Fund (GCF) activities and decision-making.DocumentWood product accounting and climate change mitigation projects involving tropical timber
International Tropical Timber Organization, 2012Harvesting timber directly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere by reducing storage of forest carbon stocks and increasing storage in wood product stocks. This report examines on existing methods for accounting for harvested wood products (HWP) in mitigation projects, as well as possible new approaches that could improve the accuracy of HWP mitigation accounting.OrganisationInternational Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO)
The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) was established under the auspices of the United Nations in 1986 amidst increasing worldwide concern for the fate of tropical forests.Pages
