Addressing the drivers of deforestation: exploring synergies between REDD+ and forest policy

摘要: This presentation will contribute to increased understanding of the drivers of tropical deforestation and degradation. Key opportunities for new forest sector lead collaborations and more effective future interventions based on forest and land-use policies will be identifi ed. The latest research on drivers and the status of current demand-and supply-side forest sector initiatives will be presented. An overview of new, innovative ideas, which can feed into the UNFCCC negotiations on drivers and other government, industry, and multistakeholder forums will be discussed. Models of unlocking forest fi nance will be presented. Public fi nance is used to leverage private fi nance at the scale of capital markets with the goal of developing a fi nancing model which can alleviate the pressure leading to deforestation, restore land, and move commodity production to sustainable systems, as well as conserve forest and promote sustainable rural development. Public and private sector efforts will be analyzed and transition scenarios towards sustainable REDD+ implementation will be sketched out. The authors will conclude with a set of high-level policy recommendations in view of integrating the three Rio Conventions.
