Land use change, particularly deforestation, is responsible for approximately 20% of all anthropogenic CO2 emissions.  Nearly 90% all CO2 emissions in Indonesia are from deforestation, ranking it third in terms of annual CO2 emissions.  Deforestation rates in Indonesia and Lao PDR have remained consistently high between 1990 – 2000 and 2000 – 2005; the rate in Cambodia has increased (FAO FRA 2005). Market opportunities are emerging to support interventions that reduce deforestation rates under “Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation” (REDD) projects.  The protocols and methods for establishing REDD projects are complex.  We propose a regional scoping workshop for identifying potential projects.
