Reports and Briefings on REDD
From
Green Ideals to REDD money. A brief history of schemes to save
forests for their carbon. November 2008, 6 pages. A short
overview of latest developments with some basic conclusions and recommendations
An
overview of selected REDD proposals. November 2008, 24
pages. This report presents the different REDD country proposals that
are currently on the table and highlights the differences between
them and whether or not they are based on carbon trading and whether
or not they respect rights of local communities
Cutting
Corners. World Bank's forest and carbon fund fails forests and peoples.
November 2008, 24 pages. This joint FPP-FERN report analysis nine
country concept notes presented to the World Bank (so called R-PINs)
to get REDD money and finds that none of them has been developed in
a proper consultative process, nor do they address issues as rights
and governance and the whole process has been in violation of the
Bank's own procedures and guidelines.
