Sophie Chapman, Martijn Wilder, Ilona Millar, Arjuna Dibley


Around the world, many developing countries are considering the practicalities of implementing REDD+ at the national level. As a starting point, the requirements outlined by the UNFCCC and other international schemes (such as the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility or different voluntary standards) provide guidance regarding what a national REDD+ policy needs to contain. This article discusses such requirements and guidance at the international level in order to provide countries with a summary of key considerations when addressing their domestic governance arrangements for REDD+.
