CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Testing methodologies for REDD+: Deforestation drivers, costs and reference levels

Exporter la citation

The definition and setting of forest reference levels (RLs) is important in the design of REDD+1 under a future climate agreement. Two meanings and uses of RL may be distinguished: (i) the RL used to measure the effect or impact of REDD+ policies, where RL refers to the Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario; and (ii) the financial incentive benchmark (FIB) used for estimating results-based incentives, e.g. direct payment for emissions reductions (Angelsen, 2008). In this study RL is reserved only for meaning (i) and Financial Incentive Benchmark (FIB) for meaning (ii). This work explores how historical deforestation rates, drivers and costs relate to both RLs and FIBs. Based on availability of relevant data and earlier research undertaken, four tropical countries that are part of CIFOR'sGlobal Comparative Study were selected for in-depth case studies because the data for this exercise were readily available, and because they represent countries with a wide range of national circumstances. The authors would welcome similar work on other countries. These countries are Cameroon, Vietnam, Indonesia and Brazil.
