WWF calls on Parties to achieve an integrated, ambitious package of REDD+ elements. Deforestation and forest degradation contribute significantly to global carbon emissions. For this reason, realization of an effective REDD+ mechanism must be a significant part of a global climate solution. It is therefore imperative that REDD+ design elements are finalized and a clear mechanism to support REDD+ is defined, otherwise, limiting the global temperature rise to 2°C will be impossible.

Our concerns about climate change have focused on limiting rising emissions from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, which push carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We don't focus as much on land-use change, and for a country like Canada, with a vast land base, it is time to take seriously the opportunity to look at forest carbon reserves in Canada and beyond.
