JAKARTA (Reuters) – Cutting emissions from deforestation will be key to curbing climate change and should be agreed upon in December’s climate talks in Bali, a leading Indonesian forestry researcher said on Monday.
The conference on the resort island is expected to initiate talks on clinching a new deal by 2009 to fight global warming.
Under the Kyoto Protocol, developed nations can pay poor countries to cut emissions from activities such as the manufacture of refrigerants and fertilizers as well as capturing greenhouse gases from farm waste and rubbish dumps.
