• TITLE: Restructuring the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) Mechanism for a Post Kyoto Agreement

  AUTHORS: Kamleshan Pillay, Lisa Frost Ramsay

  KEYWORDS: CDM, Climate Change, Forest, Post Kyoto, REDD+, UNFCCC

  JOURNAL NAME: American Journal of Climate Change, Vol.4 No.1, March 12, 2015

  ABSTRACT: With the possibility of a new climate agreement being formed in 2015 at COP 21 in Paris, there is a vital need to restructure REDD+ for formal inclusion into such an agreement. There are two vital questions that need to be assessed if REDD+ is to be effective as a policy tool within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). First, can REDD+ be financially self-sustaining if it remains as a fund based mechanism or will a market based system be more effective? Second, will REDD+ remain primarily a carbon offsetting mechanism or can it also deliver co-benefits (poverty alleviation, biodiversity conservation, and promoting indigenous rights protection)?
