Forest Carbon Asia Information Brief: Policy updates, April 2012

[Anuradha Vanniarachchy]

Sorry for cross posting.

 

Dear all,

 

Forest Carbon Asia is pleased to announce its latest brief - Continued expansion of REDD+ and forest-based mitigation (Forest Carbon Asia Brief No. 7. Policy Updates)

 

This brief provides updates on REDD+/forest carbon mechanisms and REDD+ Readiness activities from February to April 2012. During this period the CDM Afforestation/Reforestation working group continued to improve methodologies and tools. The UN-REDD Programme and FCPF provided REDD+ Readiness funding support to several new countries. Japan has adopted various pilot projects and mitigation activities as a potential source of credits for its anticipated Bilateral Offset Credit Mechanism. European countries are showing interest in the Governors’ Climate and Forests task force and the EU ETS may include emissions from the LULUCF sector in its binding ER targets.
