This paper introduces the global trends of the world timber economics the patterns of the international trade and how economic projections show a growing tension between the needs and the existing natural resources. The principles of REDD and other economic tools intended to mitigate climate change are analyzed with an economic perspective. The relevant economic parameters of the international trade of production and conservation of tropical forests are discussed. Implications for the feasibility of REDD and other mitigation tools are analyzed according to the nature of the international funds and to the variability of the different countries. A temptative typology is proposed on how the different strategies of valorization can be implemented.

Abstract

This paper introduces the global trends of the world timber economics the patterns of the international trade and how economic projections show a growing tension between the needs and the existing natural resources. The principles of REDD and other economic tools intended to mitigate climate change are analyzed with an economic perspective. The relevant economic parameters of the international trade of production and conservation of tropical forests are discussed. Implications for the feasibility of REDD and other mitigation tools are analyzed according to the nature of the international funds and to the variability of the different countries. A temptative typology is proposed on how the different strategies of valorization can be implemented. As a conclusion the paper put the REDD and the other mitigation tools in perspective with the global trends imposed by the growth of China India and Brazil.
