This brochure aims to explain the concept of benefit sharing, its principles, mechanisms, and good practices in environmental projects, especially in the context of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). It seeks to provide guidance on how to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of the results generated by these projects, ensuring that Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs & LCs) receive adequate compensation for their contributions to conservation.

This brochure is the seventh volume in the series “Understanding Climate Finance,” produced by Forest Trends’ Communities and Territorial Governance Initiative in partnership with Greendata and with support from the Walmart Foundation. To access the other chapters, visit HERE.
