The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is carrying out a evaluation of Norway&#8217;s International Climate and Forest Initiative. Norad&#8217;s consultants need to ask some hard questions about NCFI&#8217;s activities globally and about Norway&#8217;s massive oil industry that is ultimately paying for the forestry handouts.
Obviously such an evaluation is to be welcomed. The fact that [...]]]></description>

Perhaps not surprisingly, the billion dollar forest deal between Norway and Indonesia is proving to be controversial in Indonesia. The government now has to play an impossible balancing act &#8211; claiming to be serious about addressing deforestation, while reassuring forest destroyers that their profits will not be affected.
According to a report in the Jakarta Globe [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a copy of the Letter of Intent (pdf file 341 KB*) signed yesterday by Norway&#8217;s Minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim and Indonesia’s Foreign Minister RM Marty M.

With apologies for stating the bleeding obvious: If REDD is going to work, it has to reduce deforestation.  It also has to respect Indigenous Peoples&#8217; rights. So why is Brazil, which claims to be serious about stopping deforestation, planning to build the world&#8217;s third largest hydropower dam? The Belo Monte dam is planned to [...]]]></description>

On 12 April 2010, a group of NGOs produced a statement criticising the Paris-Oslo process, criticising the lack of transparency and participation. The Norwegian government has now replied to this statement. A &#8220;core group&#8221; of 29 &#8220;facilitating countries&#8221; has created a REDD+ partnership document, that is open to comments from all countries and the general [...]]]></description>

A group of NGOs have produced a statement on the Paris-Oslo process, criticising the lack of transparency and participation. &#8220;A bad REDD system is worse than no system at all for the world’s climate, its forests and its people,&#8221; they write in the statement. &#8220;Unless underlying problems are addressed, so-called fast-start financing would be a [...]]]></description>

Last week, REDD-Monitor received a reply from Hans Brattskar, the Director of Norway&#8217;s Climate and Forest Initiative, to the post &#8220;Indigenous Peoples excluded from French-Norwegian partnership on forests&#8220;. The reply is posted below in full, as requested. Brattskar seems keen to distance  Norway from the Paris meeting.
