Carbon Storage in Protected Areas

Carbon emissions from deforestation account for an estimated 20% of global carbon emissions(IPCC2007); second only to that produced by fossil fuel combustion. To successfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land cover change, effective strategies for protecting natural habitats are needed. D...

short_description	This report examines the carbon storage function of protected areas as a contribution to strategies for reducing emissions from land use change. In particular, it is relevant to discussions surrounding reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
