Discussion Forum 4: 10 years of the Global Comparative Study on REDD+
3 Dec 2018
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation through results-based payments (RBP) is a key distinguishing feature of REDD+.

Nevertheless, the REDD+ debate has visibly advanced countries’ capacities and national and global […]

Book Launch: Transforming REDD+: Lessons and new directions
2 Dec 2018
Constructive critique. This book provides a critical, evidence-based analysis of REDD+ implementation so far, without losing sight of the urgent need to reduce forest-based emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. REDD+ as envisioned has not been tested at scale. Results-based payment, the novel feature of REDD+, has largely gone untested. International funding (both public and […]
