The event organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development aimed to share the findings of its research to inform a wider debate on how REDD+ is contributing to addressing the drivers of land use and land use change. The presentation focused on gender and equity in REDD+ and the challenges faced. More details: http://www.iied.org/redd-paris-what-could-be-it-for-people-forests

- Focus on Land Tenure: Talk about forest tenure issues and stakeholders that would still be excluded even after land tenure is remediated There is growing recognition that secure land tenure is important for equitable REDD+ initiatives. Already, REDD+ has triggered discussion and some action on land rights in Mexico and Peru. However, conservation at the community level may involve, and even rely on, stakeholders who have no foreseeable prospect of tenure rights
- Focus on Issues regarding decision making and participation social/cultural mindsets or ‘norms’ may prevent equitable strategies being implemented as intended.
- Focus on BS mechanism In Peru, for example, some research participants said that if (and only if) the government provides communities with appropriate information and capacity building, the benefits could be allocated based on contributions to conservation and sustainable management of forests. This approach might require recognition for non-formal community structures that have great social capital and contribute to conservation Focus on Tradeoffs: there are potential ‘tradeoffs’ between these, for example poorer, more vulnerable people may have little influence over forest conservation or causes of deforestation. Focusing benefits on these vulnerable groups (needs-based) will often reduce the benefits available to provide incentives for good forest management. Conversely, focusing only on the large-scale drivers of deforestation will often exclude rural forest-dependent communities who are in great need of development support.
- theories of change started with recognition for stakeholders and their rights and forest activities with social benefits, and then proposed equitable procedures in order to ensure social and environmental benefits are distributed equitably although recognition and procedures are pre requisites for equitable distribution of benefits, they are also outcomes in their own right (and should not just be regarded as a means to an end) the ‘distribution’ dimension one type of benefit (such as new jobs) leads to more complex and fundamental benefits (such as improved human well-being).
