In an official side event to the UNFCCC 34th session of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) [1] some interesting presentations had been given by the speakers [2].
Lini Wollenberg came up with some very interesting facts [3]:

Peter Holmgreen rounded up the picture [3]:
Mr. Holmgreen rightly claims that REDD+ shouldn't mainly focus on logging activities but on land use change activities because of agricultural needs (read here as well [5]). Where we differ, however, is on one of the action sample at Slide 7.
Mr. Holmgreen, in this particular case, is in the oppinion that "reducing sustainable forest management" can help to meet Climate Change mitigation.
We completely disagree with this statement as we belive, in fact, that promoting sustainable forest management is a powerfull and effective tool for climate change mitigation.
