The Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC) and Amazon Institute for Environmental Research (IPAM) welcome this opportunity to make recommendations to the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Workshop II on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries to be held in Cairns, Australia (7-9 March 2007). This submission adds some new approaches and data on tropical deforestation to the previous documents submitted by WHRC and IPAM to Workshop I held in Rome, Italy (30 August-1 September 2006).

WHRC and IPAM are convinced that there is now a consensus in the international community that to avoid “dangerous interference” in the global climate system (the primary objective of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, Article 2), tropical deforestation should be greatly reduced, as also recommended by two important reports prepared since Workshop I: the Stern Review and the Fourth Assessment of the IPCC.

Indigenous Peoples and the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism in the Brazilian Amazon – Subsidies to the Discussion of Benefits Sharing

The purpose of this publication is to provide a better understanding on the contribution of indigenous perspectives to the discussion of REDD+ benefit sharing, based on some indig- enous’ points of view and experiences of the Amazon indigenous peoples in Brazil. More specifically, the aim from a participatory and consultative process is to provide support for the construction benefit sharing models for REDD+ programs, which actually promotes inclu- sion of these people, focusing on the Brazilian context.
