s:1074:"TI Realising REDD +: National strategy and policy options 
AB Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancing  forest  carbon  stocks  in  developing  countries  (REDD + )  started  as  a  global  initiative.  Much  of  the  initial  debate  has  focussed  on  the  global  REDD + architecture  and  how  REDD +   can  be  included  in  a  post-2012  climate  agreement.  But  the  debates  and  the  focus  of  actions  have  now  increasingly  moved  to  national  and  local  levels.  More  than  40  countries  are  developing  national  REDD +   strategies  and  policies  and  hundreds  of  REDD +   projects  have been initiated across the tropics. This book wants to inform these national  and  local  processes  by  asking  some  basic  questions:  How  are  participating  countries going to reduce emissions and increase carbon stocks that they hope  to be paid for through global mechanisms? What new institutions processes  policies  and  projects  are  needed?  What  are  the  options  in  these  areas  and  how do they compare
