AB Key messagesNational and subnational policies contribute to forest conservation, but their effectiveness is low on average, especially in the tropics.No particular policy instrument stands out as a ‘silver bullet’. Achieving the multiple objectives of REDD+ will require policy mixes that are sensitive to local contexts.More rigorous evidence on the effectiveness of forest conservation policies is needed, especially from Africa.
