The workshop on “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD)”, was organised by FEEM, EDF and CMCC at FEEM premises in Milan, on November 18th 2008.

This workshop aimed to inform policymakers and the public opinion on the potential contribution of
REDD in future international climate agreements, stimulating a discussion among scientists, policy
makers and civil society on such an increasingly crucial issue in the climate change debate.

The
workshop brought together a broad audience of selected international researchers, policymakers
and stakeholders allowing for the dissemination and exchange of the latest research and policy
proposals.

The workshop was structured around two main sessions:

• in the morning, the focus was given to scientific, economic and environmental research on
  the role played by REDD in climate change policy.
• the afternoon session provided a market and policy perspective on REDD through a series
  of contributions from market actors and policy makers, followed by a round table discussion.
