But this political momentum is under threat as heavy polluters attempt to appropriate REDD for their own purposes, proposing REDD project offsets within carbon markets as low-cost substitutes for their own emissions reductions. Among the most controversial proposals are sub-national REDD offsets, which allow corporate polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases in exchange for protecting an area of forest in a developing country.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace is calling on countries to end deforestation globally by 2020 and has developed a REDD Fund<br \/>\nproposal called the Tropical Deforestation Emissions<br \/>\nReductions Mechanism (TDERM) or Forests for Climate.<\/p>\n<p>Our Forests for Climate proposal maps out what world<br \/>\nleaders must do to achieve this goal. World leaders must agree at the Copenhagen climate conference in December 2009 to create a new global fund for forests. This fund should be based primarily on financing raised through the auctioning of emission allowances in the amount of $40 billion per year to protect the world\u2019s remaining tropical forests by 2020.<\/p>\n<p><b>Num. pages:<\/b> 32<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download
