REDD+ is the United Nations’ deforestation and forest degradation reduction program.

Key Points:

  • To ensure equity, the distribution of REDD+ benefits must consider various factors, including who receives the funds and how they are distributed.

Who should get benefits from REDD+?

    • Some argue that actors who hold legal rights to the land and actively participate in emission reduction efforts should receive the benefits.
    • Others think indigenous communities who have a historical connection with their forest land should receive the benefits.
    • Under this REDD+ program, the government and community groups receive an agreed-upon share of the payment, while the private sector gets non-monetary benefits, like enhancing their sustainable practices through capacity building.

Different distribution justifications

    • Direct cash based on performance Paying households or individuals based on their efforts to protect or restore forests is the best option of REDD+.
    • However, it is also the rarest and hardest one to implement so far.
    • One example is a forest restoration project initiated by private company Bosques Amazonicos SAC with Federation of Brazil nut producers in Madre de Dios, Peru.
    • Prior to 2021, the company distributed 30% of the carbon sales revenue to the participating landholders.
    • Yet, in areas like Dak Lak province, the payments are less appealing compared to other options like coffee farming.
    • Pre-payments to induce performance Pre-payments are upfront expenses paid by donor or government to help individuals overcome the potential losses from choosing a different way to use land.

Way forward

    • It’s important to have an equitable process to distribute REDD+ funds that takes into account different goals and the interests of all stakeholders involved.
    • We should ensure fair and equal sharing of benefits in REDD+ design by following clear principles and implementing strong social safeguards.
