A BACKGROUND DOCUMENT FOR THE UN-REDD SPONSORED SUPPORT TO REGIONAL GROUPS

The United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD) commissioned this report from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) to summarize the current state of negotiations towards a decision in Copenhagen, specifically outlining areas of consensus, options for resolving areas where consensus has not yet been reached, and priorities for research to support successful implementation of an international REDD Programme following a decision at the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) in Copenhagen.

PREPARED BY THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY RESEARCH (CIFOR), October 2009.
