What IIED has been doing
• Risks of commodification of
carbon and increased value of
forests; active protection of rights
• Inclusive REDD+ models
• Gender equity and safeguards
• Transaction costs
• Preferences of communities
• Lessons for REDD+:
compensation to incentivize
change in behaviour and
practices;
• Governance is crucial for
effective payments
• Agriculture – land productivity
and food security
• Efficiency of production and
consumption of biomass
energy (concession model)
• Viability and opportunity costs
• Reconciling REDD+ and
development priorities
• Protection of carbon stocks
may contribute to
enhancement of biodiversity
conservation
• SESA
• Synergies between CBD and
REDD+
• Developing countries set
priorities
• Equity
Biodiversity

safeguards

6. Work ahead
• Economics of pro-poor REDD+ delivery models
• Viability of models - energy, agriculture, urbanization, domestic and international
demand
• Benefit sharing and preferences (scale and representativeness)
• Approaches to monitoring smallholder carbon projects
• – reduce transaction costs
• Research and testing REDD+ on the ground through local
partners – budget funds for investment packages
• Safeguards – promoting equity in REDD+
• Gender – drivers-commodity nexus, value chain analysis to
understand the profit margins and how to ensure win-win
strategy options for men and women
• Private sector REDD+ – effective, equitable and inclusive
