This report highlights the potential synergies between REDD+ and the transition to a Green Economy. It provides a summary of the elements which it argues are necessary for integrating REDD+ into a Green Economy. It provides policymakers with ideas for supporting economic development while maintaining or increasing forest cover. It argues that REDD+ can add important momentum for those promoting a Green Economy, especially complimenting pro-poor strategies. Four key recommendations are given which the report argues will result in increased return on REDD+ investments and accelerated transition to a Green Economy: (1) Greater private sector engagement, and changes in fiscal incentive frameworks, (2) Creating a demand for REDD+, (3) More focus on non-carbon benefits and (4) More social inclusiveness.
