The REDD+ component of the UNFCCC and other REDD processes such as the Governors’ Climate and Forest task force have the potential to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions 10% or more by slowing tropical deforestation and forest degradation and by enhancing forest carbon stocks. This possibility will not be realized, however, unless agricultural expansion into tropical forests is re‐directed onto lands that are already cleared and currently performing below their productive potential.

The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region

Analysis of possible REDD program interventions in a large-scale Amazon landscape indicates that even modest flows of forest carbon funding can provide substantial cobenefits for aquatic ecosystems, but that the functional integrity of the landscape’s myriad small watersheds would be best protected under a more even spatial distribution of forests. Because of its focus on an ecosystem service with global benefits, REDD could access a large pool of global stakeholders willing to pay to maintain carbon in forests, thereby providing a potential cascade of ecosystem services to local stakeholders who would otherwise be unable to afford them.
