Inaccessible forests become accessible as the frontier expands and infrastructure is developed. 8,000,000 ha. – 16,000,000 ha deforested yearly in 1980s & 1990s 0.8 billion t/C – 2.6 billion t/C ~ 20% of annual global Greenhouse gas emissions

10. Compensated Reduction of Deforestation Concept for voluntary reduction of national tropical deforestation emissions that brings major developing countries into Kyoto 1. Target derived from average annual historical deforestation (using satellite imagery) over an agreed period. 2. Tropical countries that elect to reduce their national emissions from deforestation below target during a commitment period, and demonstrate success, authorized to issue tradable carbon credit post facto. 3. These countries agree to stabilize, (or to further reduce) deforestation in subsequent commitment periods. 4. Baseline revised downward over time. 5. Only a portion of the offsets might be valid in next period. Others could be valid for subsequent commitment periods.
