   Making REDD work for the forest-dependant poor: civil society perspectives from the South This article argues that the most critical issue when running REDD projects is not "how to implement REDD" but rather to ask "who is it that we are rewarding through REDD and carbon financing?". The authors list ten issues and principles that they urge REDD negotiators to keep in mind during discussions.

   Building Effective Pro-poor REDD-plus interventions: How enhanced multi-stakeholder processes can ensure REDD-plus works for vulnerable communitiesIUCN has published a brochure on the contributions that enhanced multi-stakeholder dialogues can make to more effective and equitable REDD-plus planning. Drawing on the work of IUCN and its members across Asia, Africa and Central America, this publication aims to explain why multi-stakeholder processes need to be given more emphasis during the REDD-plus readiness phase and how they can be enh...

   Exploring the rationale for Benefit Sharing in Community Forestry: Experiences from Tanzania and Nepal. Towards a conceptual framework for equitable benefit-sharing in community forestryThis study argues that there is a considerable lack of clarity regarding the rationale for redistribution of forest management benefits at the community level: in Nepal benefits are redistributed with the aim of mobilising and accumulating natural and social capital to reduce relative poverty and social marginalisation. In Tanzania, however, the focus of benefit sharing is more directly on fo...

This skepticism still exists, but as evidence of the positive impacts of CF emerges, policy is changing to further support the CF program.This paper argues that if CF is fully developed in Bhutan, it will contribute significantly to achieving nati...
