'Signature' achievement on forests at UN climate talks http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1385247048
Forests in Peru Countries with forests will have to provide information on safeguards for local communities.
Nations meeting in Warsaw at UN talks have agreed [to] a significant step forward towards curbing emissions from deforestation.
A package of measures has been agreed here that will give "results-based" payments to developing nations that cut carbon by leaving trees standing.
One observer told the BBC that this was the "signature achievement" of these talks.
Deforestation accounts for about 20 percent of global emissions of carbon dioxide.
Earlier this week the UK, US, Norway and Germany agreed a $280m package of finance that will be managed by the World Bank's BioCarbon fund to promote more sustainable use of land.
