Abstract
The international community recognizes reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) and increasing forest carbon stocks as a critical component of national and international strategies for mitigating climate change. To support the endeavour of producing a post-2012 climate agreement, CIFOR is conducting a four-year global comparative research project on first-generation REDD project sites and national REDD initiatives in selected countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
