PUBLICATIONS : Towards Building a Governance Framework for REDD+ Financing

Leticia Guimaraes, Anna Lehmann and Robert O�Sullivan

Climate Focus through the USAID-funded LEAF project has contributed a background paper on REDD+ finance for a REDD+ stakeholder consultation workshop in Panama on 2 October, 2011, sponsored by CMIA, the Ateneo School for Government, and the Swiss development cooperation Helvetas.

The workshop forms part of the project ‘Towards a Governance Framework for REDD+ Financing’, which is a joint initiative between the Government of the Philippines and Switzerland, represented by the Climate Change Commission and the Confederation Suisse, respectively. In this workshop, the sponsors hope to bring together different REDD+ stakeholders, including negotiators, private sector, and non-governmental organizations to discuss 1) current state of REDD+ financing, 2) present case studies on forest governance with special attention to finance and 3) potential elements of a governance framework for REDD+ financing.
