   The Potential of REDD to conserve the Amazon river systemRiver systems, such as the Amazon, are closely interdependent with riparian and upland forests, making them vulnerable to changes in forest cover and land use. By reducing deforestation and forest degradation, REDD can thus contribute to maintaining the stability of flow regimes and the overall resilience of the aquatic system. However, this report argues that REDD will have little or no dire...

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.
