Beschreibungen/Notizen

• ● A growing number of indigenous groups hope to earn income from reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), a financial mechanism that aims to incentivize the conservation of forests while at the same time reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from forested lands. ● REDD is not a panacea, but should instead be viewed as part of an overall development strategy that addresses the local drivers of deforestation. ● Income for REDD has historically only begun to flow after a protracted start-up and implementation phase, although there is some evidence that buyers may be more willing to make up-front payments as understanding increases. ● It is critical to establish tenure before implementing an REDD programme. ● It is also critical to work with partners who have the necessary blend of skills to get REDD projects off the ground successfully.
