20-25% of global anthropogenic emissions
15 million ha annually in the tropics (LDCs)
PNG put this topic on the UNFCCC agenda in 2005
Under Kyoto smaller LDCs cannot benefit
from carbon markets
UNFCCC is now developing policy on on reducing emissions from
deforestation in developing countries
Deadline: November 2007 at COP-13
The priority in the Kyoto Protocol is to provide a framework for industrialised
nations to reduce emissions

NZ has built an SFM capability in indigenous forestry
since the Forest Amendment Act 1993
Opportunities to export this capability to LDCs in
carbon credit-sharing partnerships
SFM instead of deforestation
