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...

Carbon benefits from avoiding and repairing forest degradation
REDD+ projects require an impact assessment approach to estimate emissions and removals; for REDD+ to succeed we need information on this and the associated 3E+ outcomes. There are few examples of rigorous impact assessment in the conservation, avoided deforestation and payments for environmental...

Learning while doing: Evaluating impacts of REDD+ projects
Payments for environmental services (PES) have the potential to become effective, cost-efficient and equitable instruments for implementing REDD+ on the ground. PES require certain preconditions to be satisfied, in particular land stewardship with ‘the right to exclude third parties’, which is no...

Can payments for environmental services reduce deforestation and forest degradation?
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...
