Emerging REDD+: a preliminary survey of demonstration and readiness activities by Wertz-Kanounnikoff, Shiela, Kongphan-apirak, M.

“…Policy makers, donors, and other investors in REDD+ and/or REDD+ co-benefits could assemble such data to enhance their investment choices, monitor their outcomes, and thus provide valuable lessons to inform the national and global REDD+ architecture. Although performance-based payments analogous to payments for environmental services (PES) are core features of the REDD+ idea, the survey further shows that REDD+ policies will require more than PES-type REDD+ schemes. …”
