Note: In 2007, projected deforestation emissions, in the absence of any policy intervention, was 41.0 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent. In 2008, emissions from deforestation are projected to be 16.9 million tonnes carbon dioxide. Projected emissions from deforestation have fallen by 24.1 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent compared to the 2007 net position report. The overall effect on the net position as compared with the 2007 report is a reduction in the deficit of 4.1 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent.
