• Reducing Emmissions from Deforestation and

Forest Degradation

• To assign a financial value for the carbon stored

in forest by offering financial initiatives to developing countries for reducing the emission that result from clearing forests

• Only pilot projects
• REDD + (UN REDD + World Banks

programmes)

Practices

• Precedural Practices
• Limit more concrete practices
• In climate change mitigation, for example

”Common but Differentiated Responsibilitties”

• Anchoring Practices
• connects in certain domains procedural

practices to more specific national practices

The anchoring practices of REDD

• Sovereignty, conservation practices, sustainable

forest practices, local and indigeneous people’s rights, participation of civil society

• CDM’s carbon trade pracitces & LULUCF (land

use and land-use change and forestry)

• MRV (monitoring, reporting and verification):
• Additionality
• Leakage
• Permanency
• Monitoring of emissions

REDD practices in Ghana, Mozambique and Tanzania

• Technical nature of MRV’s practices get

strong political content in national contexts

• Global rule making is turned to

government’s authority

• Sovereignty & leakage
• Private sector & civil society and local

people in minor roles
