Palm Oil Video

This publication is meant to provide insight in the global greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands and formulates some UN-FCCC policy approaches to addressing these issues, as input to COP14 in Poznan. All over the world, precious peatland ecosystems, with a unique nature and beauty are degraded and destroyed. Peatswamp forests in Indonesia are drained and logged; tundra peatlands are affected by global warming and mountain peatlands like in the Himalayas are subject to overgrazing and mining.

Factsheet about the Central Kalimantan Peatland Project

Factsheet explaining the methods and achievements of the Central Kalimantan Peatland Project (CKPP).

This discussion paper discusses options for improving the options for improving the treatment of LULUCF in a Copenhagen agreement: forest and wetland degradation, factoring out, harvest wood products, and approaches for fuller accounting. This working paper aims to contribute to the discussion by Parties and other relevant organisations and individuals, in the process leading up to and in Accra, Poznan (COP14) and Copenhagen COP15).
