Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancing forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD + ) started as a global initiative. Much of the initial debate has focussed on the global REDD + architecture and how REDD + can be included in a post-2012 climate agreement. But the debates and the focus of actions have now increasingly moved to national and local levels. More than 40 countries are developing national REDD + strategies and policies, and hundreds of REDD + projects have been initiated across the tropics. This book wants to inform these national and local processes, by asking some basic questions: How are participating countries going to reduce emissions and increase carbon stocks that they hope to be paid for through global mechanisms What new institutions, processes, policies, and projects are needed What are the options in these areas, and how do they compare
