This manual was created through a collaborative effort of the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity
Alliance (CCBA); Conservation International (CI); GTZ; The Nature Conservancy (TNC); Rainforest
Alliance (RA); and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The manual contains basic information on various
aspects of REDD, including: forests' role in climate change, drivers of deforestation,
strategies to reduce deforestation, REDD technical elements, international policy context, social
considerations, biodiversity and ecosystem considerations, national-level activities, project
standards, and project development. It was created to support training workshops that our
organizations are implementing in various countries, but can also serve as a source of background
information for those new to REDD.

A paper submitted by Rane Cortez, on behalf of The Nature Conservancy. This paper compares the
outcomes of seven proposed approaches to determine national baselines for measuring REDD
(Compensated Reductions, Joint Research Center, Corridor Approach (V1 and V2), Combined Incentives,
Stock-Flow, Terrestrial Carbon Group) as a function of country circumstances, using a retrospective
analysis of FAO National Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) forest carbon emissions data. For more
