Resumen
Descripción
International policies to reduce carbon
emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+)
envisage the creation of financial incentive mechanisms that
reward forest protection efforts and adequately compensate
those actors that face new costs. In order for REDD+ to
achieve these objectives, effective benefit sharing systems
will need to be implemented. Benefit sharing in REDD+ could
take a wide variety of forms depending on the policies used
to achieve REDD+ objectives. However, common to all
approaches is the need for clear processes to determine
actors' eligibility, the scale of benefits (and costs)
and the governance arrangements. While many of the general
concerns about benefit sharing within communities are widely
referenced (e.g., elite capture), relatively less is known
about how benefits are actually shared within communities
and the implications in terms of economic opportunities,
empowerment and vulnerability. There is also surprisingly
little empirical evidence on the implications of different
benefit sharing approaches for the poor in the different
examples reviewed; for example, in terms of questions about
whether benefits have actually compensated people
adequately, helped to lift people out of poverty or deal
with temporary shocks. These issues need to be much better
understood within emerging REDD+ projects and programs,
which in many cases have an objective to benefit those
affected by REDD+ implementation.
