  Tenure of indigenous peoples territories and REDD+ as a forestry management incentive: the case of Mesoamerican countries

  The UN-REDD Programme and Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, 2012

  Programmes to reduce emissions from deforestation and ecosystem degradation, including REDD+ and Payment for Environmental Services (PES), could represent an opportunity to strengthen processes of conservation, sustainable usage and poverty reduction in the Mesoamerican region, particularly in indigenous territories and communities.

  Protecting carbon to destroy forests: land enclosures and REDD+

  Transnational Institute, 2013

  This paper argues that REDD+ will not stop forest destruction developing countries and the underlying causes of deforestation remain untouched. The paper suggests that because REDD+ is embedded in the logic that environmental destruction in one location can be ‘compensated’ in another, it acts to reinforce the underlying drivers of deforestation and climate change.

  Putting the pieces together for good governance of REDD+: an analysis of 32 REDD+ country readiness proposals

  World Resources Institute, Washington DC, 2013

  The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Readiness Fund and the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (UN-REDD) are supporting capacity building efforts in preparation from REDD+ implementation.

  Carbon stocks of tropical coastal wetlands within the karstic landscape of the Mexican Caribbean

  PLoS ONE, 2013

  As one of the most carbon (C) rich ecosystems in the world, the conservation and restoration of tropical wetlands represent a priority for climate change mitigation. Deforestation, agri/aqua culture conversion, pollution and coastal development have all contributed to the loss of over one-third of mangroves in the last fifty years; a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.

  Institutional framework for implementing REDD+ in India

  Ministry of Environment and Forests, India, 2013

  India has 78.29 million hectare under forest and tree cover (Forest Survey of India, 2011) which is 23.81 per cent of the total geographical area of the country. However, the country’s forests are facing immense pressure due to unsustainable use of forest produce.

  Governing the forests: an institutional analysis of REDD+ and community forest management in Asia

  International Tropical Timber Organization, 2013

  This report examines the history, structure and monitoring mechanisms of REDD+ to better understand how it impacts upon, and interacts with, Community Forest Management (CFM). It presents case studies of CFM and REDD+ governance from Bangladesh, Indonesia and India, and concludes with some lessons learned.

  Economics of forest and forest carbon projects: translating lessons learned into national REDD+ implementation

  UNEP Risø Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development, 2013

  This report draws lessons on finance options and barriers related to project activities from the forest sector. It investigates the economics of implementing forest and REDD+ projects through a number of case studies from Africa, Latin America and Asia.

  Reference levels: concepts, functions, and application in REDD+ and forest carbon standards

  Climate Focus, 2013

  This paper surveys forest carbon standards for their insight to relevant results-based payments for REDD+. The aim is to assess how different results-based initiatives deal with common Reference Level (RL) design problems in order to inform REDD+ negotiations and policymakers.

  Gender Mainstreaming Strategy and Checklist for Climate Change Mitigation / REDD+ program

  Lowering Emissions in Asia's Forests, 2012

  Women and men, owning to their gendered responsibilities, possess unique knowledge sets about forest resources. This knowledge can be applied to achieving successful sustainable forest management. Accrediting this unique knowledge provides both legitimate recognition of their engagement in decision-making processes and equitable share of benefits.

  An approach to designing pro-poor local REDD+ benefit distribution systems: lessons from Vietnam

  SNV, 2012

  Well-designed and targeted local Benefit Distribution Systems (BDS) are central to the success of REDD+. This report, based on experiences from Vietnam, provides an iterative process for the design of local level pro-poor approaches to BDS.
