No presente documento o Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia (IPAM) faz, como observador acreditado à COP, suas considerações e contribuições à COP/SBSTA relacionadas ao tema das emissões oriundas do desmatamento em países em desenvolvimento (UNFCCC/CP/2005/L.2).
Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries
WHRC and IPAM are convinced that there is now a consensus in the international community that to avoid “dangerous interference” in the global climate system (the primary objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, Article 2), tropical deforestation should be greatly reduced, as also recommended by two important reports prepared since Workshop I: the Stern Review4 and the Fourth Assessment of the IPCC5.
