DESCRIPTION

Policies that address deforestation rates will not automatically capture degradation. Failing to explicitly include degradation in REDD frameworks could thus leave considerable amounts of forest-based emissions unaccounted for. In some cases, forest degradation may result in combined carbon losses of the same magnitude as deforestation.
