The paper distinguishes between collusive and non-collusive corruption in the forestry sector and analyses their interaction with the political/institutional environment. While non-collusive corruption increases costs for the private sector, collusive corruption reduces costs for the bribee, ther...

The projected impacts of climate change are significant, and despite the uncertainties associated with current climate and ecosystem model projections, the associated changes in the provision of forest ecosystem services are expected to be substantial in many parts of the world. These impacts wil...

Future socio-economic impacts and vulnerability
Policy makers can improve the likelihood of success for REDD+ initiatives by incorporating success factors identified through decades of research on community forest management. These include sufficient size and clear boundaries of forests, predictability of benefit flows, local autonomy in desig...
The landscape of REDD+ projects varies significantly across countries, reflecting differences in land tenure systems, drivers of deforestation, recent experience with conservation programmes and governance capacity. Indonesia appears to have the most REDD+ projects in the pipeline, with a substan...

Stopping illegal timber harvesting and adopting reduced-impact logging in the tropics, together with wildfire suppression, could cost-effectively reduce carbon emissions and enhance carbon uptake. Carbon uptake in degraded forests could be enhanced by better postlogging forest management practice...

In many developing countries, tenure in forests is not clear and subject to dispute. This will place limits on the effectiveness, efficiency and equity (3Es) of REDD+. In spite of the attention paid to the problem of insecure tenure to date, there has been little progress toward clarifying tenure...

Forest tenure rights and REDD+: From inertia to policy solutions
REDD+ is more likely to be just and locally legitimate if the design, implementation and allocation of benefits represent local needs and aspirations. Decentralisation of meaningful decisions to locally accountable and responsive (e.g., representative) local authorities would promote local engage...
