Agenda
• Overview• What’s REDD+?• Mapaz in the REDD+ context• Basic features and functionalities• User data, map layers and basemaps• Spatial analysis and queries• GIS services, help and others• What’s next?
Overview• Agreements to address climate change
have sparked interest in REDD+• Some technical expertise required• We developed a tool for
–visualizing and querying deforestation–Assessing biomass and carbon emissions–Calculating opportunity costs of avoided
deforestation
What’s REDD+?
REDD+ is a global mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, as well as the conservation and sustainable management of forests, and the enhancement of forest carbon stocks. The scheme offers one of the cheapest options for reducing greenhouse gases.
REDD+ (Cont)
Recently, there has been a notable interest in mechanisms for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) as an opportunity to mitigate climate change, initiatives that in the local context could be established as incentive payments for avoided deforestation.
Mapaz in the REDD+ Context
MAPAZ: Environment and Population Mapping
for a Sustainable Amazon is an interactive map
server for research, planning and public
policy design, supporting natural resources and
conservation initiatives for ecosystem services
management in the Amazon
