Reporting REDD
Media Pack from Panos UK and CIFOR
This media pack gives journalists an overview of a vital issue in global climate change negotiations. REDD is a proposed mechanism to slow the loss of forests, but how it will work in practice is the subject of debate.REDD stands for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.
This short media briefing explains how the REDD mechanism might work and raises some of the key controversies to be resolved at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and beyond.
An accompanying short film looks at the possible effects of REDD on forest communities and contains interviews with different stakeholders, including environmental journalists.
A video news release on REDD, 'REDD revolution', which includes interviews with forest communities, campaigners, economists and politicians is part of the pack. These can be used free of charge for news and dissemination purposes.
