Let's talk REDD

I have stumbled upon these articles and thought worth sharing.
Got a few more in the garage for any other aficionados out there.

This is very interesting!

The story goes on. We are still dancing to tunes and songs played by the so called WAKUBWA! Reduced Emission through Decreasing forest Degradation (REDD) is another scheme by WAKUBWA to escape their responsibilities. What is needed is for them to STOP emitting CO2 immediately. But poverty minded African leaders are being allured by easy cash available in REDD. Almighty God please help us.

I have heard the same from environmental groups and recently the global commons; aligning the current monetary system with sustainability indicators. Meaning, a total redirection (at least short term) of economic benefit into the hands of ''nature stewards''. I really like the sound of this but is it feasible?No. Should this complexity then encourage corporations to maintain their current production systems with creation of models that simply deter the focus of the solutions measures?Of course not!But, complex problems sometimes require complex solutions and may be it is the complexity in dealing with the current climate issues that make this a no-ground issue.

Huu mpango wa carbon credit and business una walakin. Hauko fair kwa nchi zinazoendelea.

Nchi zinazoendelea wanataka waendelee kutoa CO2 kwa kiwango cha sasa au zaidi na kununua 'credit' kutoka nchi zinazoendelea na hivyo kupunguza viwango vya CO2 vinavyoweza kutolewa na nchi zinazoendelea.

Labda kwa sasa tunaweza kusema kwa vile bado hatutoi CO2 kwa hiyo hiyo wacha tuziuze credit kwa nchi zilizoendelea, lakini maendeleo ya viwanda yakitokea, itatugharimu sana. (Hasa kwa kuwa mikataba tunayoweka ni ya muda mrefu)
