nov 9, 2009

IPAM, together with partners, Conservation International, Environmental Defense Fund, Woods Hole Research Center, and The Nature Conservancy, produced four policy briefs on aspects of REDD policy.

This one is a joint position on ecological co-benefits of REDD+: we support a robust REDD+ mechanism for climate change mitigation that also protects the ecological co-benefits essential to maintaining the integrity and sustainability of tropical forest ecosystems.
