Abstract: Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in developing countries has become an important issue in the international climate negotiation. Various parties have delivered proposals on REDD since the 11th Conference of Parties (COP) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Besides the disagreement in the methodological issues, Brazil and other developing countries in Central America and Africa hoped to get additional financial and technical supports from developed countries through funds. However, developed countries, such as the United States, Australia and European Union intended to support the market based on the clean development mechanism. According to the current situation of forest management in China, possible influences of REDD action on China's economy were analyzed and the responding suggestions were presented for the future international climate negotiation.

Key words: REDD, positive incentive approach, CDM, methodology, responding suggestions
