Casebook on REDD On-the-Ground Impacts

Posted on July 23rd, 2010 by Andrew Long

The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International and WWF have recently released Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD): A Casebook of On-the-Ground Experience, which offers analysis of key REDD issues through investigation of specific cases. The report endorses REDD, frequently using the cases to demonstrate how potential probelems with REDD can be overcome. It thus comes across as a constructive assessment of REDD’s possiblities. The examination of specific cases is particularly helpful because such studies are, unfortunately, often hard to find with the exception of a very few frequently discussed early REDD examples.
