The private sector in the REDD+ supply chain: trends, challenges and opportunities

Export citation

Funding is a major concern in the implementation of REDD+ activities and involving the private sector will be absolutely critical to scale up investment in REDD+. The private sector can also make vital contributions to REDD+ initiatives through the range of its expertise and be part of the solution to mitigating climate change by addressing key drivers of deforestation under attractive conditions. Nevertheless, little has been done to identify who the key private sector players are, the roles they play and the sector's diversity in terms of scale, expertise, motivations and forms of involvement.
