Lessons on land tenure, governance and REDD+: Case studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America This volume of case studies collates publications resulting from the Oct. 21-22, 2011 Land Tenure and Forest Carbon Management Workshop hosted by the University of Wisconsin/Madison’s Land Tenure Center (LTC), Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, and Geography Dept. Emerging from these case studies and workshop discussion is the theme that REDD revenues s...
Stakeholders’ incentives for land-use change and REDD+: the case of IndonesiaThe opportunity costs of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) accruing to different stakeholders in Indonesia, including companies and the national, provincial and district level governments, are estimated, with particular emphasis on the influence of alternative discount rates. A cost–benefit analysis of the opportunity costs of avoided deforestation is cond...
From REDD+ to Low Carbon Growth Strategy: An opportunity for Provincial ActionsA presentation outlining the organizational structure of the Indonesian National Council on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Accord and Indonesia's emission profile from 2000 to predicted values in 2020. The presentation then looks at deforestation in Indonesia, before detailing a framework for a Low Carbon Growth path where REDD+ fits into the CO2 mitigation area. Finally th...
Policy Brief: Low carbon growth for GhanaThis policy brief is part of the Technical Assistance to the Ghanaian National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF). It details how low carbon growth could be pursued in Ghana and the steps Ghana can take to identify the short term benefits of low carbon growth and how REDD+ fits into this.
REDD+ Design in Cambodia, Indonesia and Mexico: Lessons to Inform International REDD+ Policy DevelopmentEffective REDD+ policy development must integrate analysis and policy at all levels to design complementary international and in-country domestic structures, with sub- national programs combined into a single national program. CCAP studies provide some evidence that the policies and initiatives already underway have a significant potential to reduce deforestation locally, and to be scaled up ...
Pilot Forest Carbon Trust Fund: Rewarding local communities for forest conservationThis infobrief presents the first Forest Carbon Trust Fund in Nepal, and lessons learnt from this pilot project. It provides insights for understanding what kind of governance system will be required for implementing REDD+ at the national level when communities are actively involved in forest management. The project will also contribute to global learning on how to build the capacity of local...
Synergies and trade-offs between REDD+ and food security: insights from the Trees for Global Benefits (TGB) project, South-Western UgandaTrade-offs between REDD+ and food production and availability are not inevitable. This case study demonstrates that many households can incorporate trees into their farms without negatively affecting their food production. Carbon finance delivered through REDD+ could also help improve food security by increasing economic access to food.
Market and non-market costs of REDD+ perceived by local communities: a case study in East CambodiaForest dependent communities’ perceptions of non-market costs should be included when assessing the costs associated with REDD+, as they are the actors who will largely bear these costs. This case study uses opportunity cost analysis to measure the market costs of avoiding deforestation as well as contingent valuation to estimate the non-market costs of REDD+ through direct interviews with ...

Snapshot of REDD+ in Papua New GuineaPapua New Guinea has been a leading proponent of REDD+ at the international level. However, domestic conditions have frustrated efforts to create an enabling environment for REDD+, and the progress of readiness3 activities and pilot projects has been slow. This snapshot aims to provide a brief overview of the context for REDD+ in Papua New Guinea, the evolution of REDD+ to date, and key issue...
