Abstract
| |
| The importance of forests in mitigating climate change, balanced with the need for participation of forest-dependent communities in developing forest conservation initiatives, is without question. Of relatively recent interest is determining how governments at all levels, the private sector, non-government organizations and local communities can work together to ensure equitable distribution of benefits from initiatives targeted at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD). Many countries have expressed their preference for forestry offsets, which are seen as an effective mechanism to channel carbon finance funding to developing countries capable of protecting their forests. To successfully accomplish this, challenges and questions remain, not least of which are: accurately measuring forest carbon emissions savings; the types of forests that can/should be included; ensuring REDD forests can remain standing for the long-term; effectively preventing illegal logging and losses due to fire; and the avoidance of leakage, i.e. the cessation of logging in one area leading to deforestation in another. In Asia, Indonesia has become the epicenter for REDD trial programs because of its existing, large tracts of forest undergoing rapid deforestation. With nearly 100 million ha of state forests, Indonesia contains the world's third largest area of tropical forests (after Brazil and Congo) and is, consequently, one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters, making Indonesia a key player in forest-related carbon projects. |
