Nine countries have already expressed formal interest in receiving assistance through the UN-REDD Programme – Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tanzania, Viet Nam, and Zambia.
UN-REDD- programmet involverer tre FN-organisasjoner, og ni land har allerede formelt meldt sin interesse for å delta: Bolivia, Folkerepublikken Kongo, Indonesia, Panama, Papua Ny-Guinea, Paraguay, Tanzania, Vietnam og Zambia.
The UN Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Programme will support these countries as part of an international move to include REDD in new and more comprehensive UN climate change arrangements to kick-in post 2012.
UN REDD-programmet vil støtte disse landene som ledd i et internasjonalt arbeid for å inkludere REDD-prosjekter i FNs nye og mer omfattende tiltak mot klimaendringer i årene etter 2012.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that the cutting down of forests is now contributing close to 20 per cent of the overall greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere.
FNs klimapanel regner med at nedhugging av skoger nå bidrar til nær 20 prosent av jordens samlede klimagassutslipp.
This initiative will not only demonstrate how forests can have an important role as part of a post-2012 climate regime, expected from the December 2009 Copenhagen climate change conference.
Dette initiativet viser ikke bare hvordan skogene har en viktig rolle å spille i klimapolitikken etter 2012, som ventes å bli vedtatt på klimakonferansen i København i desember 2009.
Mr. Stoltenberg commented: “We must reduce deforestation if we are to succeed in fighting climate change”.
- Vi er nødt til å redusere avskogingen dersom vil skal lykkes med å bekjempe klimaendringene, sa statsminister Jens Stoltenberg.
Through concerted international efforts we can achieve major reductions quickly, said Mr. Stoltenberg, underlining the need to work out international standards for measuring, reporting and verifying emissions from deforestation and degradation.
- Gjennom samlet internasjonal innsats kan vi oppnå store utslippsreduksjoner raskt, sa Stoltenberg.
“The UN-REDD initiative is a quick start action programme that aims to demonstrate that early results are possible in some of the major forests of the world.
- UN REDD-initiativet er et tiltak som tar sikte på å vise raskt at det er mulig å oppnå resultater i noen av verdens største skoger.
And to do so through the UN ‘delivering as one’: That is why Norway has decided to finance the UN-REDD Programme,” he said.
Det er derfor Norge har besluttet å finansiere UN REDD-programmet, sa Stoltenberg.
If REDD gets the green light in a post-2012 UN climate agreement it may eventually lead to developed countries being able to pay developing ones for the emissions saved.
Dersom UN-REDD får grønt lys i FNs klimaavtale for tiden etter 2012, kan det føre til at industriland vil kunne betale utviklingsland for reduserte utslipp.
Such an arrangement will be crucial in the global effort to avoid catastrophic climate change, and must come in addition to deep cuts in developed country emissions.
En slik ordning vil være avgjørende i det globale arbeidet for å unngå katastrofale klimaendringer, og må komme i tillegg til store kutt i industrilandenes utslipp.
Developing countries could receive significant payments that in turn can be spent on much needed development.
Utviklingsland vil kunne motta betydelige beløp som i sin tur kan brukes på nødvendig utvikling.
According to one estimate, Indonesia has the potential to be compensated $1 billion a year if its deforestation rate was reduced to one million hectares annually.
I følge én beregning har Indonesia mulighet til å mota 1 milliard US dollar i året dersom landet reduserer sin avskoging til 1 million hektar i året.
The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO); the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) are to implement the new programme in the spirit of the UN ‘Delivering as One’.
Organisasjonene som skal iverksette UN-REDD etter den nye ”Ett FN”-ordningen, er FNs mat- og jordbruksorganisasjon (FAO), FNs utviklingsprogram (UNDP) og FNs miljøprogram (UNEP).
Heads of Agency Quotes
Uttalelser fra FN-organisasjonenes sjefer:
Achim Steiner, UN Under Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director, said: “UNEP, ecologists and the scientific community have long argued that forests are worth more alive than dead—that their ecosystem services and benefits are worth billions if not trillions of dollars if only we can capture these in the economic models”.
Achim Steiner, UNEPs eksekutivdirektør, sa: - UNEP, økologer og vitenskapsfolk har lenge sagt at levende skoger er verd mer enn døde skoger, og at nytten av deres økosystemer utgjør titusener av milliarder dollar om vi bare kan fange dette i økonomiske modeller.
“REDD offers an opportunity to begin capturing these real values and will bring much needed finance to maintain one of the world’s central life support systems.
- REDD gir oss muligheten til å begynne å fastsette disse reelle verdiene, og vil gi oss svært etterlengtede midler for å bevare et av verdens sentrale livssystemer.
With any new initiative there are risks and rewards.
Alle nye initiativ innebærer både risiko og muligheter.
REDD must benefit local communities and indigenous peoples as much as it benefits national economies and the global environment.
REDD må kunne fremstå som like nyttig for lokalsamfunn og urbefolkninger som for nasjonale økonomier og verdenssamfunnet.
If that is done the prospects are exciting and potentially far reaching,” he added.
Om det skjer, er utsiktene svært gode og vil kunne være det også på lang sikt, sa Steiner.
“In this context, the spotlight has been turned on the means and ways to ensure forest monitoring, assessment and verification in a bid to safeguard forests and monitor emissions from deforestation.
- I denne sammenheng er søkelyset nå rettet mot hvordan vi kan sikre overvåkning, vurdering og verifisering av skogene, for å bevare dem og male utslippene som skyldes avskoging.
These will be a key component of the UN-REDD Programme,” he added.
Dette vil være nøkkelkomponenter i UN-REDD-programmet, sa Diouf.
Kemal Derviş, UNDP Administrator, said: “The scope of the climate challenge ahead of us requires that we innovate in the way we do development.
Kemal Dervis, UNDP-sjef, sa: - Omfanget av den klimautfordringen vi står overfor krever at vi er nyskapende i vårt utviklingsarbeid.
The UN-REDD Programme, which brings together the skills of FAO, UNDP and UNEP, with generous assistance from Norway, sets the stage for this kind of ‘win-win-win’ situation.”
UN-REDD-programmet, der FAO, UNDP og UNEP skal bidra med sine kunnskaper, og med sjenerøs støtte fra Norge, gjør klart for denne typen ‘vinn-vinn’-situasjon.
Notes to Editors
Til redaksjonen:
The Programme will also look at how payments could be structured under a REDD climate convention instrument alongside the various financial and insurance options needed to cover losses from such projects as a result of events such as fire and pest attack.
Programmet vil også se på hvordan betaling vil kunne organiseres under en REDD-klimaordning parallelt med de ulike finans- og forsikringsmulighetene som vil være nødvendige for å dekke tap som skyldes skogbranner eller tresykdommer.
By June next year it is expected that as a result of the various capacity building measures, National Readiness Plans will have been drawn up for participating countries so that if a formal REDD agreement is made by nations in Copenhagen, countries will be ‘ready to go’.
Innen juni neste år er det ventet at ulike tiltak for å øke kapasiteten vil føre til nasjonale planer I de landene som deltar, slik at de vil være klare til å sette i gang dersom klimakonferansen I København formelt vedtar REDD-programmet.
The UN-REDD Programme is also working and cooperating closely with the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility; the Global Environment Facility’s Tropical Forest Account; and Australia’s International Forest Carbon Initiative.
UN-REDD-programmet samarbeider nært også med Verdensbankens Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, Global Environment Facility’s Tropical Forest Account og Australias International Forest Carbon Initiative.
Some Background
Bakgrunn:
Between 1990 and 2005 the rate of deforestation averaged 13 million hectares, mostly in the Tropics.
Mellom 1990 og 2005 omfattet den årlige avskogingen gjennomsnittlig 13 millioner hektar, det meste i tropiske områder.
Greenhouse gas emissions with felling, slash and burn agriculture and other deforestation effects, account for around 17 per cent or more of global emissions—the second largest source after the energy sector.
Klimagassutslipp på grunn av hugst, avbrenning og andre avskogingstiltak utgjør rundt 17 prosent eller mer av de globale utslippene – den nest største utslippskilden etter energisektoren.
By 2100 clearing of tropical forests could release 87 to 130 Gigatonnes of carbon to the atmosphere.
Innen 2100 kan nedhugging av regnskog sende 87 til 130 milliarder tonn CO2 opp i atmosfæren.
In 2007 at the 13th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) countries agreed the Bali Action Plan.
I 2007 ble Aksjonsplanen fra Bali vedtatt på den 13. sesjonen av Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The Bali meeting also adopted a decision on ‘Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries” encouraging parties to explore a range of actions in this field.
Balimøtet vedtok også et dokument om å redusere utslipp på grunn av avskoging i utviklingsland, og oppmuntret partene til å studere en rekke tiltak på feltet.

‘Wars and armed conflicts damage the environment and the natural resources that societies are completely dependent on.
- Krig og konflikt ødelegger miljø og naturressurser som samfunn er helt avhengige av.
People who are fleeing their homes often put an extra strain on ecosystems when the numbers that have to share scarce resources suddenly increase.
