REDD+ at the crossroads: Choices and tradeoffs for 2015-2020 in Laos

This study examines key choices and tradeoffs that confront current efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) in Laos. Drawing on key informant interviews and document analysis conducted between late 2013 and late 2014, it builds on recent work by other scholars on REDD’s policy landscape and wider sociopolitical context in Laos but focuses on the landscape of projects as a window into policy-level debates.
