Putting REDD+ into practice can involve a broad range of actions that change the management of forest and other lands. Depending on what is done and how, these actions can have...

This Policy Brief explores the scope for complementarities and synergies in actions under the two Conventions, and illustrates through case studies some ways in which developing...

A wide range of tools and resources is available to assist decision-makers and their advisors in planning for REDD+ implementation. As these materials have been developed with...

Forests provide a number of ecosystem services, which REDD+ activities including afforestation, reforestation and forest restoration have the potential to promote. On the other...

The negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) about a REDD+ mechanism, which would provide incentives for developing countries to...

Spatial analyses relating to co-benefits can provide key information to support planning and decision-making on REDD+ at national and sub-national scales. To do so, they should...

Increasing resilience is one way in which biodiversity conservation might benefit REDD+ (it is already clear that, overall, REDD+ can be expected to benefit conservation,...

The paper provides an analysis of the ecosystem-derived multiple benefits of REDD+. The terminology around multiple benefits is not yet clear cut. Here, the different terms in...

This paper combines up-to-date, spatially explicit data for the humid tropics on carbon stocks within biomass (Ruesch & Gibbs, Reference Ruesch and Gibbs2008) and soil...

Forests provide a number of ecosystem services including biodiversity, which could be added multiple benefits to the climate change mitigation potential arising from...

This paper focuses on the key opportunities to safeguard and enhance ecosystem-derived benefits within REDD+, concentrating on the direct impacts on these benefits of decisions....

The REDD concept has now expanded to REDD+, encompassing also “conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks”. This opens an...

Conversion of natural ecosystems is the second largest source of human-induced climate change, accounting for 17–20% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (Gullison et al....

Successful implementation of REDD is likely to require the reduction of deforestation rates on a national scale. Designation of new protected areas and strengthening of the...

Protected areas could play a significant role in the implementation of schemes to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in developing countries, through...

The extent to which REDD provides ecosystem benefits, and the possible risks, will depend in part on how REDD is designed. Issues surrounding the scope of REDD, the reference...

This paper observes the following three challenge to biodiversity monitoring for REDD: choosing which aspects of biodiversity to monitor, the difficulty of attributing...

It is now recognised that the global average temperature rise must be limited to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Emissions from the forestry sector must be...
