Sumario:REDD+ projects require an impact assessment approach to estimate emissions and removals; for REDD+ to succeed we need information on this and the associated 3E+ outcomes. There are few examples of rigorous impact assessment in the conservation, avoided deforestation and payments for environmental services (PES) literature.

We will learn more rapidly and effectively by sharing evaluation designs and findings across REDD+ projects
