REDD+ and Local Forest Communities

REDD+ serves as a mechanism to combat greenhouse gas emissions by incentivizing the preservation and sustainable management of forests through conditional payments. The publication examines the implications of REDD+ on land tenure and forest resource rights, highlighting its potential to significantly impact forest-dependent communities. It investigates whether local communities are receiving the promised benefits from these initiatives, offering insights into the broader effects of climate policies on livelihoods and environmental stewardship.
