Making REDD+ cross-sectoral: why, how and what are the potential socio-economic impacts?

[8]The need for REDD+ to coordinate and involve multiple sectors involved in driving deforestation and forest degradataion is becoming increasingly important. To ensure national ownership and political and social sustainability REDD+ will also need to be harmonised with the objectives of other key economic sectors such as agriculture and energy. This policy brief outlines some key policy options that encourage synergies between REDD+ and the agriculture and energy sectors, and their potential socio-economic impacts.

For further analysis of these policy options and their potential social impacts, see the REDD-net publications on REDD+ and Agriculture [9]and REDD+ and Energy [10].
