Two new Project Development Documents have recently been posted on the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) website, relating to REDD-type projects in Papua New Guinea: Kamula Doso Improved Forest Management Carbon Project and April Salumei Sustainable Forest Management Project. Both these projects are controversial and REDD-Monitor has reported on both projects in the past: [...]]]></description>

On 27 May 2010, Sir Michael Somare, the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, gave a speech at the Oslo Climate and Forest Conference. Much of his speech amounted to little more than a request for Norway&#8217;s money. But the speech included the outlines of Papua New Guinea&#8217;s new plans for REDD &#8211; a plan [...]]]></description>

In Papua New Guinea, the forest carbon trading fiasco continues, as does the logging. But you wouldn&#8217;t notice anything was amiss from the UN-REDD website. On 5 January 2010, 13 January 2010 and again on 15 February 2010, REDD-Monitor wrote to the UN-REDD programme to find out what UN-REDD has been doing to address the [...]]]></description>

A month ago, I wrote to the UN-REDD team in Papua New Guinea to ask, among other things, what has happened to the programme&#8217;s budget of US$2,596 million. I am still waiting for a reply. Last week, I sent a reminder, along with a new question about the PNG government&#8217;s investigation into the Office of [...]]]></description>

The UN-REDD programme in Papua New Guinea has been very quiet about the on-going controversy involving carbon trading and REDD in the country. REDD-Monitor asked UN-REDD some questions in an attempt to find out what the UN-REDD programme has been doing to address the problems. Unfortunately, UN-REDD remains very quiet on the subject.
[UPDATE: UNDP replied [...]]]></description>

Papua New Guinea&#8217;s forest carbon trading fiasco is back in the news. The focus is on Kirk Roberts, pictured right, his company Nupan (PNG) Trading Limited and an Australian carbon trading firm, Carbon Planet. &#8220;It&#8217;s no secret that I am one of the most important foreigners in PNG,&#8221; Roberts says.
