REDD-plus, forest people's rights and nested climate governance
This draft paper discusses how forest people's rights can be operationalised under REDD-plus, citing the importance of participation in political decision making, equitable distribution of forest benefits, and recognition of forest people’s particular identities as importance principles under which to achieve this. In addition the paper emphasises a need for nested forest and climate governance.
