It has been reported that, as of May, fourteen international delegations will attend including from Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, China and the United States. The expo is expected to attract around 400 exhibitors and 30,000 visitors.
Amazonian people present their own vision on REDD +
Edwin Vásquez Campos, from Coordinadora de las Organizaciones Indígenas de la Cuenca Amazónica (COICA) an organisation that coordinates action by nine national Amazonian indigenous organizations has presented the views of Amazonian indigenous people on mechanisms related to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD +).
At a side event at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York he said that “REDD + Indigenous Amazonian (RIA)” has the same goal of reducing emissions but with a different strategy that placed priority on a long-term ‘life plan’ for Amazonian peoples.
The vision of COICA, said Vásquez Campos, is the holistic management of forests to integrate mitigation and adaptation, climate change and biodiversity.
He described the proposed Indigenous REDD + as having three main components: strengthening ecosystem functions through a management or holistic management of indigenous territories, reducing the overall footprint and eliminating the drivers of deforestation in the Amazon.
