- Avoided_Deforestation_Partners abstract "Avoided Deforestation Partners, or AD Partners, is a non-profit organization involved in the global effort to solve the climate change challenge. In particular, the group promotes the concept of “avoided deforestation,” a term coined within the context of international climate change discussions. “Avoided deforestation” refers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by not clearing forests. This approach decreases the impact of climate change while conserving biodiversity and protecting the 1.5 billion forest dependent peoples. Deforestation has become a heated scientific and legislative issue because loss of trees causes nearly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of the world's entire transport sector.The group says that its mission is to “dedicated to advancing U.S. and international climate and resource protection policies. AD Partners brings together public, private and civil society leaders to inspire decision makers to implement strategies that promote sustainable agriculture that is free of deforestation.” To this end, AD Partners has convened international events that support United Nations efforts such as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and the Green Climate Fund (see subhead: Support for International Forest Protection). In addition, the organization has developed partnerships between industry and government that promote resource conservation and the significant reduction of deforestation via sustainable agricultural practices (see subhead: Public-Private Partnerships). The group has also worked with U.S. congressional legislators to shape forest protection policies (see subhead: American Clean Energy and Security Act).AD Partners has supported initiatives that monetize forests’ carbon storage capacity, thereby providing carbon credits that governments and industry can buy to offset their emissions. This initiative essentially pays developing countries to protect and effectively manage their forests. The effort is intended to counter the lucrative practice of clearing rainforests in such countries as Brazil and Indonesia to be used for cattle grazing, planting soy, oil palm and other high-demand crops. However, some critics suggest that this top-down forest management approach does not adequately address the needs of communities on the ground.".
