A number of member and observers organisations of the Ecosystems Climate Alliance provided input to the Bolivia Summit to call for a review of forest defintions, terms and classifications under the UNFCCC for the purpose of the negotiated REDD+ policy (reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries). Without clear distinction between natural forests and plantations, there is a high risk that under the UNFCCC this will create financial incentives for the conversion of natural forests including their organic soils (peatlands) to wood / paper and oil palm plantations.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Letter to UN on exclusion civil society at COP15</h1> <p>Tol — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:48:00 GMT</p> <p>ECA has expressed its strong concern <font size="2"><font size="2">at the exclusion of observers and civil society constituencies during the last two days of the climate negotiations at COP 15 in Copenhagen in a letter addressed to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon. </font></font><font size="2">Download this letter here.</font></p> </article> <article> <h1>Wetlands International Policy brief UN climate Conference Copenhagen</h1> <p>Carpaij — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:32:00 GMT</p> <p>This policy brief summarises the position of Wetlands International for a post-2012 climate agreement. It provides text suggestions for incorporating the emissions from peatlands in decisions on land use emissions in both developed countries and developing countries. Currently, peatland emission remain unaccounted in Annex 1 countries and are in danger to remain ignored under REDD schemes. The policy brief also emphasises the role of wetland conservation and restoration in climate change adaptation strategies. </p> </article> <article> <h1>Wetlands International Policy brief on LCA & KP - 5 Aug '09</h1> <p>Tol — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:58:00 GMT</p> <p>This policy brief provides an analysis of both the REDD section in the LCA text (d.d. 22 June) and add.2 & 3 of the KP text (d.d.1 July) with regards to addressing emissions from degraded wetlands/peatland.
