Abstract
An introduction to the issue of REDD and carbon trading with countries that are already big forest emitters yet still have a lot to lose, versus those that have conserved their forests so far but also face pressures in the future. REDD is the UN's collaborative programme on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.
