Resumen
Descripción
Forests are still at the center of attention in climate change negotiations, and are likely to remain so. However, there is renewed debate about the proportion of global emissions that can be attributed to the forest sector, with estimates revised downwards from 17 to about 12 percent in discussions within the IPCC. Nonetheless, it remains a significant amount. In February 2013, the Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), alo ng with the host institution, the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, brought together eleven climate change and forestry experts in Bogor, Indonesia, to discuss the implications of decisions taken at the COP 18 held in Doha, Qatar in November and December 2012 on the forestry sector of the Asia-Pacific region. This booklet summarizes their responses to a set of 12 key questions raised at the consultation.
