Research in Climate Change and Environment
The international community recognises reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) as one of the most critical components of national and international strategies for mitigating climate change.
We focus on the following areas:
Large international collaboration project: I-REDD+
Impacts of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Enhancing Carbon Stocks (I-REDD+).
The I-REDD+ project is funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
The aim is to ensure that the implementation of a future REDD+ mechanism is based on the highest level of knowledge on:
- carbon storage in landscapes
- monitoring technology
- potentially negative impacts on local livelihoods
- governance structures for managing payments.
