Demystifying Forest Bonds : Assessing the Suitability of Bonds as a Financing Instrument to Meet Forest-Based NDC Targets

Forests have been receiving increased attention over the past few years, particularly through international climate change negotiations and efforts to develop a mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. In many forest-rich countries, the implementation of the recent...
