Carbon Markets and REDD+
By Pablo Pacheco and Melissa Panhol View PublicationThis brochure aims to explain, in a simple and straightforward manner, what REDD+ is, how it works, and what role it plays in protecting forests and combating climate change. It will address the fundamentals of the REDD+ mechanism, its main elements, the challenges of its implementation, and the opportunities it offers to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs & LCs) who live in and care for forests. The brochure also presents practical examples and analyzes the relationship between REDD+, carbon markets, and the rights of forest peoples.
This brochure is the second volume in the series Understanding Climate Finance, produced by Forest Trends’ Communities and Territorial Governance Initiative in collaboration with Greendata and with support from the Walmart Foundation. To access the other chapters, visit HERE.
