Leakage from policies to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest dgradation (REDD+) must be monitored, measured and mitigated to ensure their efectiveness. This paper reviews research on leakage at the large (international and national) and small (subnational and project) scales to summari...

Planted oil palm areas increased 20-fold and crude palm oil (CPO) production had a 12% average annual increase from 1967-1997. This conferred important economic benefits but threatened Indonesia's natural forest cover. Large-scale plantations displaced local communities and social conflict result...
