This document discusses international perspectives on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). It notes that Indonesia is a world leader in implementing NAMA approaches for REDD+. It also discusses how several countries have submitted NAMA plans based on COP 15 guidelines and how Brazil has conducted a low-carbon emissions study. The document argues that the current forest definition under the UNFCCC is problematic and that REDD+ does not adequately address the drivers of deforestation. It advocates for a total accounting approach within variable landscapes called Reduced Emissions from All Land Use (REALU).
