Confused by REDD+? Check Out "Shades of REDD+" on Ecosystem Marketplace

Deforestation is a classic “wicked problem” with no easy solutions. REDD+ has been conceived to be the master of this problem. Over the past year, Ecosystem Marketplace has been rolling out the series "Shades of REDD+", along with the intermittent companion series "Forests, Farms, and the Global Carbon Sink" to examine the evolution and current challenges of REDD+

Shades of REDD+ is a curated series of articles by recognized land-use experts on topics ranging from the creation of baselines to the debate over jurisdictional vs project-based REDD+ to the current debate over corresponding adjustments. 

Feel free to check the pieces out individually or from beginning to end.
