Abstract: | Background Negotiations on a future climate policy framework addressing Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) are
ongoing. Regardless of how such a framework will be designed, many technical solutions of estimating forest cover and forest
carbon stock change exist to support policy in monitoring and accounting. These technologies typically combine remotely sensed
data with ground-based inventories. In this article we assess the costs of monitoring REDD based on available technologies
and requirements associated with key elements of REDD policy. |
