This presentation by Gabrielle Kissinger and Martin Herold was given on 26 November 2012 at a UNFCCCC COP18 side-event in Doha, Qatar. They shared findings from a recently published global assessment on the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, as well as country experiences of dealing with them in a REDD+ context. For more stories from the UN Climate talks in Doha, visit http://blog.cifor.org/cop18/To support SBSTA considerations on REDD+, and to support on-going national-level REDD+ planning and implementation, the assessment explores the importance of drivers, the role of drivers in REDD+ policy development and interventions, and in developing forest reference emission levels.Slideshow: http://www.slideshare.net/CIFOR/drivers-of-deforestation-and-forest-degradation
