The prospects for Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) in Mesoamerica by Kaimowitz, D.

“…This paper reviews the prospects for REDD in Mesoamerica using PES and other instruments, with emphasis on the effectiveness of REDD measures at reducing emissions, and their effi ciency and fairness. It concludes that in spite of reduced deforestation in the region, the growth of payments to avoid deforestation will be the most important policy change related to REDD in the region in the coming years. …”
