Abstract:
Even though negotiators have not formally agreed on REDDâor its more evolved form, REDD-plus forest stakeholders worldwide have been working hard to get REDD-plus right. Countless hours and much energy have been devoted to project design, proposals to resolve tenure and governance issues, capacity building, land-use planning, and many other efforts to get ready for REDD-plus implementation.
The Forests Dialogue (TFD) brought together more than 275 leading forest stakeholders during 2008 in a series of international dialogues with the aim of providing climate-change negotiators with a unified voice on the development of REDD-plus. The results of those dialogues are presented in Beyond REDD: The Role of Forests in Climate Change. Subsequently, TFD hosted another series of international forest-stakeholder dialogues, this time on investment in REDD-plus (see Investing in REDD-plus: Frameworks for Financing and Implementation)
