Seeing REDD to save the forests and the planet

Export citation

Global warming poses a significant threat to our future. That much is now widely accepted. Less certain is what we need to do to arrest the process. When the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change drew up the Kyoto Protocol, the decision was taken to ignore deforestation, although it accounts for more than a quarter of man-made carbon emissions. That was a mistake.
