REDD mechanismplays an important role on controlling and slowing global warming,but it has not been concluded in CDMin the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.The second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol opened on January 1,2013.At this crucial time,developing countries face challenges such as exploring the fundamental reason of deforestation and forest degradation,solving the methodological problems of REDD mechanism and addressing the effect of REDD to international trade.At the same time,there are good opportunities for the development of forest protection,sustainable forest management and increasing the forest carbon storage for developing countries.Developing countries need to improve their ability constructions in order toseize opportunities ofsettingup REDDmechanismand meet challenges step bystep.
