Global climate change initiatives to reduce emissions from avoided deforestation and degradation (REDD) represent both a threat and opportunity for the Malaysian logging corporation ‘Rimbunan Hijau’, the largest forestry operator in Papua New Guinea. Although Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in developing countries is first and foremost a climate change mitigation option, it also has the potential to generate benefits for indigenous and local communities (UNEP 2010).

Under the Montreal Protocol, RMI maximum allowable ozone depleting substances consumption are recorded herein
Consumption of CFCs has remained reasonably constant in RMI since 1993. The data set out herein was collected by the international consultant on his visit to RMI. Data before 1995 is not considered reliable and is only an estimate of consumption at that time
The use of HCFCs is generally increasing in RMI, corresponding to the rise in use of the HCFC 22 in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Most of the consumption is for the foreign fishing fleet operating from the port in Majuro. Although this HCFC is not used in RMI, it must be counted as consumption by RMI as it is not being formally exported.

The outcomes of the PRotected Area Forum (PAF) is that the forum will enable protected area practitioners, researchers, academics, private sector, potential donors and local communities who manage or support protected areas in PNG, to share their experiences, insights and any lessons learnt in relation to factors impacting protected areas. It will identify and formulate national priorities for effective protected area management in the country. The results of the forum will contribute to the implementation of the Protected Area Policy.
