    Expert statements indicate that annually
    approximately 20 billion dollars will be needed to prevent
    90 percent deforestation in tropical countries. Development
    practitioners are eager to see the benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives shared with local partners. Equally important to
    understanding how local partners might benefit are questions
    such as, who should derive benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives, and how to ensure these initiatives reach the

    Reducing emissions from deforestation
    and forest degradation and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+)
    has raised the profile of benefit sharing in the forest
    sector. Sharing benefits, however, is not a new concept.
    Previous work on benefit sharing (associated with
    intellectual property, forest and agriculture concessions,
    mining, and so forth) has focused on clarifying the concept
    and examining how benefit sharing could feed into broader

    understanding of the role of forests and trees in
    contributing to food security. Authors discuss the origins
    of the idea of resilience, adaptability, and transformation

    The Government of Indonesia (GOI) is in
    the process of designing a national REDD+ mechanism to allow
    it to access donor funding in the medium term, and funding
    from a potential performance based mechanism in the long
    term. This policy brief is focused on the broad question of
    how REDD+ can address underlying community issues such as
    lack of access to forest land, and does not deal with the
    more specific questions of legal and institutional

    The urgent need to limit anthropogenic
    carbon emissions has led to a global initiative to Reduce
    Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+).
    But designing national architectures for REDD+ that
    integrate local actions on forests with national-level
    outcomes and do so effectively, efficiently, and equitably
    continues to be challenging. One option to facilitate the
    design and implementation of REDD+ is to learn from the
