Sorry for cross posting.
Dear all,
We are pleased to announce our latest brief - REDD+ Biodiversity Safeguards: Options for Developing National Approaches (BioREDD Brief No.2. Biodiversity & REDD+ Updates). This brief is brought to you by Forest Carbon Asia, SNV Netherlands Development Organization with support from the International Climate Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, and United Nations Environment Programme - World Conservation Monitoring Centre which is part of the UN-REDD Programme.
The last brief outlined the international commitments to biodiversity in REDD+, the risks and opportunities, and international and national options for promoting biodiversity in REDD+. This brief explores how a national safeguard approach can be developed that will meet the International policy commitments yet remain consistent with national policy frameworks. It further discusses how SNV together with UNEP-WCMC is exploring a national safeguard approach for Vietnam.
The brief can be downloaded from: http://www.forestcarbonasia.org/fca-publications/redd-biodiversity-safeguards-options-developing-national-approaches/
