We are not going to cover any one properly, so we ngos we need to push them together, who can cover ther rest and share information. If we can agree on certain things make us much stronger.
Notes: An upcoming key opportunity to do this is through the REDD+ Partnership Process, which kicked off with a Ministerial meeting in Paris in March and concludes in May with a meeting in Oslo. This Partnership aims to maintain the momentum for REDD coming out of the UNFCCC negotiations and improve co-ordination of financial flows for REDD. Why does it matter? There is now $4.5 billion pledged coming out of the Paris meeting for 2010-2012. If countries in the REDD+ Partnership can agree on key principles and criteria for how this substantial fast-start funding for REDD should flow, this could help set the long-term shape of REDD+ and ensure it addresses not only the dire consequences of ongoing forest loss and forest degradation, but also benefits the planet's climate, biodiversity and people.

As you are all aware, REDD probably represents both the greatest opportunity and challenge to confront WWF since its inception Implementing REDD involves a huge set of political and scientific challenges Fortunately, On the science side at least, emerging technologies are offering solutions to the challenges. But selecting and positioning ourselves with these technologies to have the greatest positive impact on REDD is also a challenge. I have been asked to briefly mention some of the new opportunities so we can gain your insights and initial feedback into how the organization and CSP might integrate these technologies into WWFs REDD tool kit. The 3 scientific aspects of REDD that I would like to explore are
Notes: Building effective national programs in key countries with results that are reported, monitored and verified is essential to REDD. The Forest Carbon Initiative has been supporting efforts in key forest countries to strengthen capacity in the design and implementation of programs for REDD. Projects focus on developing tools and methodologies for REDD implementation and for building national REDD capacity. Projects also focus on training priority countries in the use of tools and approaches that can enable informed REDD policymaking and project design. An exciting result of this program includes the development and testing of LiDAR laser instrumentation which produces high definition, 3D maps of forest structure, biomass and carbon. This enables more effective measurement of not only deforestation, but also of forest degradation – a key to establishing effective monitoring and verification of REDD programs.
Notes: This technology could significantly reduce the cost of measuring forest carbon and make this data available through a world forest map on Google.
