Descripción

The experiences of subnational REDD+ initiatives in the Peruvian Amazon provide valuable lessons for the design and implementation of national greenhouse gas mitigation efforts. We identify lessons that could contribute to enhancing the effectiveness and equity of some of the greenhouse gas mitigation measures adopted by Peru under its Nationally Determined Contributions. We highlight the importance of spatial targeting, customised rewards and conditionality of rewards to contribute to achieving more effective results in REDD+ initiatives.
