Descripción
This paper outlines the international response to climate change at the global level and provides examples of countries that have taken legislative action in line with the objectives of REDD+ to combat the effects of climate change. It highlights the ways legislation reflects countries commitments to REDD+ and examines the linkages between REDD+, forest, and climate change laws using examples from Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. The aspects of the selected legislation that are analyzed in this paper include forest and wildlife resources management including planning, administration, decentralization processes, as well as use and conservation aspects that impact the implementation of REDD+.
