Abstract
"The Bali roadmap recognizes “that reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries can produce co-benefits and may complement the aims of other objectives...” By focusing on slowing deforestation rates there is an opportunity to combine the goal of reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions with the goals of preserving biodiversity and, possibly, lessening poverty. However, the agenda also recognizes the complexity of realizing the opportunity for co-benefits, “[due to] different national circumstances and the multiple drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.” (p. 1).
