This study explores how the proposed activities by the Congo Basin countries to reduce drivers of land emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) could support the transition to a green economy and low carbon development future.
Financing forest-related enterprises in ways that reduce both deforestation and poverty is critical to climate action and sustainable development.
In recognition of the need for global action to combat climate change, Guyana became a Non-Annex I party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in June 1992, and has since made significant progress in the implementation of the Convention's principles to combat global climate
Our decreasing forest landscapes are under huge pressure to deliver local and global needs, from a village’s food and firewood to mitigating climate change. With demand unlikely to fall, the key issue is how we extract what we need.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is an effort to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests, offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development.
This report, from the New Climate Economy, provides 10 practical recommendations to boost economic growth and reduce climate risk. These recommendations could deliver up to 96% of the emissions reductions required by 2030 to keep our planet on a pathway to keep global warming under 2 degrees ce
