The Paris Agreement recognized the significant role of forests in climate change mitigating and adapting. It also emphasized importance Reducing Emissions from Deforestation forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism as a vital tool for achieving goal limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. This study aims assess REDD+ readiness Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal preparation effecti...

As reported by FAO (2005 State of the World’s Forests (Rome: UNFAO), 2010 Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) 2010/095 (Rome: UNFAO)), Indonesia experiences the second highest rate of deforestation among tropical countries. Hence, timely and accurate forest data are required to combat deforestation and forest degradation in support of climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation policy ...

The REDD+ scheme of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is a carbon-based compensation for projects that resulted in reducing carbon emissions or enhancing carbon sinks or both in tropical forests. However, estimating such emissions and sinks remains challenging, and thus making it impossible to estimate carbon revenues from managing tropical forests. Here, we estimated th...

Community forestry around the world has demonstrated its potential for implementing Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) climate change program. Secure tenure rights access to rule-making are known as contributing successful community outcomes. Still, effects of different aspects rural ‘community agency’ not well established. We investigate forest governance conflicts r...

REDD+ is a mechanism to address climate change by reducing deforestation and forest degradation. In this article, the implementation of REDD Early Movers- REM/Visión Amazonia program in Guaviare, Colombia, analyzed, focusing on challenges scope when addressing drivers post-conflict context. By taking historical perspective regional we link these recent trends region. This article demonstrates p...

Technology in the hearing aid industry is ever changing. One of the many features that may improve accuracy of hearing aid fi ttings and patients ’ satisfaction is the inception of in-situ audiometry, which allows the clinician to measure hearing thresholds with a hearing aid in the patient ’ s ear. Objective : The present study aimed to investigate the validity of in-situ audiometry measured w...

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is considered one of the most cost-effective strategies for mitigating climate change. However, historical deforestation and emission rates-critical inputs for setting reference emission levels for REDD+-are poorly understood. Here we use multi-source, time-series satellite data to quantify carbon emissions from deforestation ...

BACKGROUND REDD+ implementation requires establishment of a system for measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) of forest carbon changes. A challenge for MRV is the lack of satellite based methods that can track not only deforestation, but also degradation and forest growth, as well as a lack of historical data that can serve as a basis for a reference emission level. Working in a miombo woo...
