TL;DR: The UK and Norway have supported the production of an independent report to help inform the decision-making process on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) at the upcoming United Nations climate change negotiations in Doha in December 2012 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified proximate drivers of deforestation and related carbon losses in South America based on remote sensing time series in a systematic, spatially explicit manner, and assigned land use following deforestation by visual interpretation of high-resolution satellite imagery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive and comparative assessment of interventions proposed by 43 REDD+ countries in 98 readiness documents and assess if they are formulated referring to the drivers of DD that they are aiming to address.

TL;DR: A critical, evidence-based analysis of REDD+ implementation so far, without losing sight of the urgent need to reduce forest-based emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change is provided in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified post-deforestation land use across the tropics for the period 1990-2000 and combined with a pan-tropical AGB map at 30 m resolution to refine EFs from forest conversion by matching deforestation areas with their carbon stock before and after clearing and to assess spatial dynamics of EFs by follow-up land use.
