Bossen spelen een belangrijke rol voor het klimaat. Ontbossing en degradatie, bosbehoud, duurzaam bosbeheer, koolstofopslag door bossen bevorderen (aanplanting, herbebossing, bosherstel) en het in rekening brengen van koolstof in bossen staan allemaal op de agenda van de onderhandelingen in Kopenhagen.
Hoe de volgorde van drie letters het verschil kan maken tussen de bossen redden of niet. Een briefing van Greenpeace over de impact op het klimaat en de bossen van het zogenaamde "Sustainable Forests Management" (SFM).
Tropical deforestation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, threatens biological diversity, and has devastating impacts upon forest dependent peoples. Human induced climate change is projected to cause significant adverse effects on tropical forests where there is a decline in precipitation. As a consequence it is vital that means are found to incentivise and reward reduced deforestation in order to assist in the task of preventing dangerous climate change and thus achieve the ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The Greenpeace Forests for Climate (Tropical Deforestation Emission Reduction Mechanism TDERM) proposal for a hybrid market-linked fund would provide the financing needed to help protect the world's remaining tropical forests by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD).
