REDD-plus guide

The purpose of the REDD-plus guide is to assist developing country negotiators and others who are working on REDD-plus.

 REDD-plus is a very complicated issue. It is complicated technically. It is complicated politically. Although many countries are interested in reaching agreement on REDD-plus they also have different priorities and different views on key issues in the negotiations.

The negotiations on REDD-plus  have complicated links with several other issues that are also under negotiation, which can make it difficult to maintain an overview and keep up with the implications of different proposals.

 The guide is divided into three parts:

·         Part I considers REDD-plus in the negotiations

·         Part II contains general negotiating tips for new REDD-plus negotiators and others

·         Part III contains UNFCCC documents that are often referred to in REDD-plus negotiations
