What is REDD?「降低開發中國家因森林濫伐導致森林惡化的碳排放計畫」

在此次哥本哈根會議中，若決定將REDD付諸實行，聯合國將要求會員國必須監視各國的森林與林地的使用情況。聯合國將提供資金，以協助各國防止森林樹木遭到濫伐。這項計畫的目標，是藉由減少森林的濫伐以減少排碳量的重要措施，讓生長中的樹木，比砍下來當木材使用具有更大的價值，也讓保留林地，比轉化為農地更具有更大的經濟效益。

REDD – reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries – is a proposed mechanism aimed at slowing climate change by paying developing countries to stop cutting down their forests.It has been the subject of heated arguments since Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica tabled a proposal for reducing emissions from deforestation at international climate change talks in 2005.
The idea was soon extended to include ‘forest degradation’, and followed by proposals that agroforestry and agriculture should be added.
In 2008 REDD-plus emerged, which builds in conserving and sustainably managing forests, forest restoration and reforestation.
REDD has rapidly become more prominent in international climate change negotiations.
More than 30 models of how REDD should work have been put forward by countries,groups of countries and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
REDD would involve a massive transfer of money from rich countries to poor as part of their commitment under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to decrease the impact of their carbon emissions.
It also offers a chance to save one of the world’s most precious ecosystems. Forests would no longer be viewed merely as timber waiting to be harvested or land awaiting clearance for agriculture.
Even if agreed, the scheme would not formally begin before 2013, but a number of countries are already starting projects based on the same principles as REDD.
