Assessing The Biodiversity Impacts Of Policies Related To REDD+: Key Considerations In Using Spatial Analysis And Land Use Modeling, Illustrative Examples From Brazil

Climate change and biodiversity loss are currently two of the key global challenges facing people and ecosystems. REDD+ policies aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the forest sector and so contribute to climate change mitigation. REDD+ policies also have the potential to provide biodive...

short_description	Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the key global challenges facing people and ecosystems. Deforestation and forest degradation represent significant contributions to anthropogenic CO2 emissions and therefore climate change, with landuse change estimated to provide a net contribution of around 10% of global emissions. Land use change can also cause loss and fragmentation of natural habitats and remains the main driver of biodiversity loss.
