The initiative was supported by the World Bank with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and coordinated by the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS) with support from the National Forestry Agency International (ONFI). Representatives of five countries from the Congo Basin (Cameroon, Gabon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Republic of Congo) and Madagascar participated in this initiative. This publication organizes information, analyses and conclusions on issues relevant to the design and implementation of REDD+ strategies. The findings do not represent an official position of any of the institutions or governments involved. In fact, the material presented here aims to stimulate further discussions, as the REDD+ debate is still unfolding and could benefit greatly from technical exchanges among the various ongoing initiatives. This publication has the following sections: (i) a conceptual approach to community forestry and REDD+; (ii) the key issues of REDD+ in connection with community forestry in Africa; (iii) how REDD+ and forest carbon (FC) are being developed in Brazil; and (iv) conclusions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONADJACENT FORESTSAGRICULTURAL EXPANSIONAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTUREAMAZON DEFORESTATIONAMAZON FORESTAMAZON RAINFORESTANNUAL DEFORESTATIONBASIN FORESTBENEFIT SHARINGBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIODIVERSITY MONITORINGBIOMASSBIOSPHEREBIOSPHERE RESERVEBUTTERFLYCALCULATIONCARBONCARBON CAPTURECARBON CREDITSCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON LEAKAGECARBON MITIGATIONCARBON STOCKCARBON STORAGECARBON STORAGE CAPACITYCARBON UNITSCASH CROPSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCOCO2COMMUNITY FORESTCOMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENTCOMMUNITY FORESTRYCOMMUNITY FORESTSCONCESSION HOLDERSCONCESSION MANAGEMENTCONSERVATION COUNCILSCONSERVATION OF FORESTSCONSERVATION PRACTICESDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION RATEDEFORESTATION RATESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC VALUEECOSYSTEMEFFECTIVE STRATEGYEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLENVIRONMENTAL COUNCILENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCHENVIRONMENTAL SERVICEENVIRONMENTAL SERVICESENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDSEXPLOITATIONFIELD OBSERVATIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFORESTFOREST ACCESSFOREST AREAFOREST AREASFOREST CARBONFOREST CARBON STOCKSFOREST CODEFOREST COMMUNITIESFOREST COMPANIESFOREST CONCESSIONFOREST CONCESSIONSFOREST CONSERVATIONFOREST COVERFOREST COVER CHANGEFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST DWELLINGFOREST ENTERPRISESFOREST EXPLOITATIONFOREST EXTRACTIONFOREST FUNDFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST INVESTMENTFOREST LANDFOREST MANAGEMENTFOREST MANAGEMENT LAWFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANSFOREST MONITORINGFOREST OPERATORSFOREST PEOPLEFOREST POLICYFOREST PRODUCTFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST RESERVESFOREST RESOURCEFOREST RESOURCESFOREST SECTORFOREST SERVICEFOREST USEFORESTRYFORESTRY ACTIVITYFORESTRY AGENCYFORESTRY COMPANIESFORESTRY DEVELOPMENTFORESTRY LAWFORESTRY MANAGEMENTFORESTRY PRODUCTSFORESTRY RESOURCESFORESTSFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GASGLOBAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSEHUMAN BEHAVIORHUNTINGILLEGAL DEFORESTATIONILLEGAL EXPLOITATIONILLEGAL LOGGINGISSUESLAND ACCESSLAND ALLOCATIONLAND CONVERSIONLAND RESOURCESLAND RIGHTSLAND TENURELAND TENURE SECURITYLAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAND VALUESLAND-USELANDSAT IMAGERYLIVESTOCKLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL CONSERVATIONLOGGINGMANAGED FORESTSMMANATIONAL FOREST RESOURCESNATIONAL FORESTRYNATIONAL FORESTSNATURAL ECOSYSTEMSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTSOPPORTUNITY COSTSPOLICY MAKERSPRIVATE FORESTSPRIVATE PROPERTYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC FOREST MANAGEMENTPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONRAPID DEFORESTATIONRATE OF DEFORESTATIONREDUCING EMISSIONSREGENERATIONRENEWABLE RESOURCESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE MANAGEMENTROADSRURAL COMMUNITIESSATELLITE IMAGERYSOCIAL PARTICIPATIONSTATE FORESTSSTRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTSUSTAINABLE COMMUNITYSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FORESTSSUSTAINABLE PRODUCTIONSUSTAINABLE USESUSTAINABLE USE OF FORESTSTEMPERATE FORESTSTIMBERTIMBER FORESTTIMBER FOREST PRODUCTSTIMBER PRODUCTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTREETREESTROPICAL COUNTRIESTROPICAL FORESTTROPICAL FORESTSTROPICSVEGETATIONVEGETATION COVERVILLAGESWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWILDLIFEWOODWOOD PRODUCTSWOOD RESOURCESWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27103
