| Summary: | Tropical forest countries that seek to
reduce deforestation and participate in REDD+ are being
challenged to develop policies that conserve forests in the
long term; create incentives for local actors to protect
forests; and align forest policies with agricultural and
rural development and other land-use policies. Developing a
REDD+ implementation strategy requires consideration of
government budgetary resources as well as the various types
of international finance that are available to support
REDD+. In assessing this landscape of potential funding
sources, policymakers can determine which types of finance
to access; which financing conditions they can realistically
achieve; and within what time frame it can be done, given
national circumstances and institutional constraints. Many
countries are participating in, or hosting initiatives to
reduce deforestation. Since 2007, when REDD+ was first
considered in the negotiations of the United Nations
Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), several
initiatives for implementing REDD+ have been developed. The
REDD+ activities advanced under these initiatives have
operated at various levels, ranging from the project level,
(geographically demarcated areas within which an activity
takes place), to subnational and/or country-wide programs.
Many countries already have received, or are seeking,
payments for subnational and national REDD+ results. Many of
these same countries already host, or intend to host, REDD+
projects, which are usually developed by private actors. |
