Understanding Demand for International Payments for Ecosystem Services (IPES)
Keywords
deforestation - forest degradation - greenhouse gas emissionsAbstract
This study focused specifically on one perceived opportunity for developing International Payments for Ecosystem Services (IPES), namely the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD). REDD refers to any conservation or sustainable land-use initiative that effectively mitigates a real deforestation/degradation threat in a given area.
Considering that close to 25% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation and forest degradation, REDD is currently being considered as a potentially promising climate change mitigation strategy.
