3E+ Evaluation of REDD+: Findings from a pan-tropical sample of pilots
Abstract: REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) is expected to play an important role in climate change mitigation. It is also expected to generate co-benefits that help meet the sustainable development goals. This presents design challenges for REDD+, and hundreds of pilot projects have been launched to demonstrate and test alternatives. The Global Comparative Study on REDD+ demonstrates the potential impacts of REDD+, and offers methodological lessons for operationalizing performance-based payments and social safeguards.
