EcoAgriculture Partners and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations are convening their next discussion on climate change and agriculture on February 2, 2011 at The United Nations Foundation. This month's roundtable will focus on the role agriculture can play in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), particularly in light of the agreement made at the UNFCCC COP16 in Cancun. We hope to stimulate some lively discussion on the linkages between agriculture and REDD, and to take this opportunity to build a foundation of ideas for anticipated future projects. As usual, a few presentations on the topic will be followed by brief updates from participants around the table and then opened up for discussion, with an informal reception at the conclusion.

Christine Negra, co-author of the new CCAFS report "Lessons from REDD+ for Agriculture" (with Eva Wollenberg) will be presenting the study during this meeting.

Please RSVP by January 27th as space is limited, to Rachel Friedman (rfriedman [at] ecoagriculture [dot] org)
