"Indigenous peoples have experienced not only the effects of climate change most dramatically, but they have borne the brunt of misguided mitigation measures." Patricia Cochran, Chair,
Inuit Circumpolar Council
There is more carbon stored in the world’s forest ecosystems
than there is in the entire atmosphere. REDD (Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), is a climate change
mitigation measure that seeks to reduce GHG emissions by preventing
or reducing forest loss and forest degradation. Indigenous
peoples living in these forests have urgent messages about
REDD, its potential opportunities, and the risks of failure
if indigenous peoples rights, and their traditional knowledge
and practices are not recognised.
