Multiplier and Distributive Effects of Large-Scale REDD+ Policies in Mexico

International Financing for REDD - A Project of WWF US Policy Program

This is a report of the project “International Financing for REDD,” undertaken by WWF US Policy Program between July 2009 and June 2010, as part of WWF FC NI Program “Engaging Civil Society in REDD Programs.

The focus of the “International Financing for REDD” project was: (a) To further UNFCCC parties’ understanding of the role and sequencing of public, private and market funding for REDD; and, (b) To discuss institutional and funding arrangements for REDD at international and national level

The project worked by (a) engaging in the international REDD discussion in the run-up to COP15; (b) producing or participating in the production of technical reviews, reports and proposals; (c) advising WWF network on these issues; and (d) collaborating with WWF country offices in the review of country level arrangements for REDD.

This report, discussing the macroeconomic impacts of alternative REDD policies in Mexico, was jointly commissioned by this project and by WWF Mexico. To speed up its distribution we are releasing it as a technical discussion paper that does not necessarily represent WWF official position on the matter.
