However, until now their messages are lack of delivering clear and detail action. Current barrier on global climate deal is recognized:
Reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) is one of recent global mechanisms that expected by developing countries to help in conserving forests, combat climate change as well as eradicate poverty.
Public may aware on deforestation and its impact on climate change. But, halting the deforestation process isn’t simply as people reducing plastic consumption.
Scientists, negotiators as well as activists are searching best ways and practice to address three principles: carbon effectiveness, cost efficiency, and equity issues on both investors and beneficiaries. I list some interesting figures around reducing emission from deforestation below: (more…)
At the G20′s last summit, Indonesia announced decision to lower carbon emission level voluntarily. The target of 26 percent decrease, as explained by the Deputy III for Improving Conservation of natural resources and Environmental Degradation Control Environment, Masnellyarti Hilman –was based on calculations of emission reduction from mixed energy and renewable energy including geothermal energy, transfer functions of forests (LULUCF / Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry) and peat lands use management.
Is this announcement really significant for industrial countries, annex-1 countries or it just political movement from developing countries to heat up the next UN Climate meeting in Copenhagen?
