Abstract:
One of the greatest opportunities for agriculture to mitigate climate change is indirect—through reduced pressure on forest resources. The decision on Reduced Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries (REDD), adopted by the 13th Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), “… encourages Parties…to address the drivers of deforestation relevant to their national circumstances, with a view to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.” In 2009, negotiations in the FCCC have focused on REDD-plus, which considers reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation, and enhancement of carbon stocks through sustainable forest management and afforestation.
