Simply REDD: CIFOR's Guide to Forests, Climate Change and REDD

Summary

When people debate climate change they often use scientific and technical language. The terms and acronyms we hear can cloud the issues if we don't know what they mean. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has prepared this simple guide to help journalists, policy makers, NGOs and interested global citizens better understand the importance of forests in combating climate change. It also highlights issues that CIFOR's research has identified as crucial if the global climate agenda is to progress in a way that is effective, efficient and equitable.
