[Forest-list] Symposium on REDD+Science+Governance

[Vag-Lan Borges]

SCOPE
 
The symposium REDD+SCIENCE+GOVERNANCE will address key challenges and concerns regarding REDD+. It will touch upon REDD+ negotiations, different scientific perspectives on REDD+ and the actual implementation of REDD+ activities. The symposium forms the start of a week-long set of activities on REDD+ at Wageningen University, which also includes a post-graduate course (link to thecourse) and an authors’ workshop to discuss a forthcoming special issue on REDD+. 

The symposium starts with key note speeches by a prominent researcher, practitioner and negotiator, who will later enter into a lively discussion touching on some of the contentious debates related to REDD+. During four parallel sessions in the afternoon, special issue authors present their work on REDD+ from both a natural and social science perspective. These sessions will address the governance of REDD+; Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems for REDD+; REDD+ in a larger context; and the implementation of REDD+ projects. In the plenary session that follows, the authors and the public will discuss some key propositions that came up during the parallel sessions. The symposium ends with a drink and a dinner.
