Enabling communities to benefit from REDD+: pragmatic assessment of carbon benefits

摘要

Local land-use interventions that meet the needs of communities while contributing to emission reductions are needed. To ensure that REDD+ projects benefit communities, appropriate metrics and monitoring approaches should be adopted to track performance. Reducing the cost of estimating carbon benefits is particularly important when additional spending diverts funding from activities that could improve the livelihoods of poor communities [9].
