Synopsis
REDD+ (Reducing Emissions of greenhouse gases from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is an important tool under the UNFCCC for incentivizing developing countries to adopt and scale up climate mitigation actions in the forest sector and for capturing and channeling the financial resources to do so.This handbook eloquently examines the methodological guidance and emerging governance arrangements for REDD+, analyzing how and to what extent it is embedded in the international legal framework.
Organized coherently into five parts, contributions from legal experts, international relations scholars, climate change negotiators and activists explore the history and design of REDD+ in the UN climate regime, as well as linkages between REDD+ and other international agreements. The book also considers global governance for REDD+, its financial dimensions including markets and investment and future developments and legal challenges. Detailed analysis from a range of angles illustrates the interplay of international norms and institutions and maps out a legal research agenda for identifying best practice solutions.
Shedding light on one of the most vibrant and fast-moving fields in international law, this comprehensive Handbook is essential reading for scholars of international law and international relations, policy makers in the area of climate change, REDD+ and land sector experts and NGOs.

What Reviewers Are Saying
The climate crisis cannot be addressed unless deforestation, especially in tropical countries, is rapidly brought under control. REDD+ is emerging as the mechanism of choice to achieve this goal yet it remains a work in progress and is subject to a range of questions as to how it aligns with other elements that make up the complex international climate regime. This impressive collection, authored by leading scholars, practitioners and government advisors provides a rich and timely account of REDD+ and the challenges yet to be overcome. It is indispensable reading for all those interested in global forest governance. --Tim Stephens, University of Sydney, AustraliaReducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is vitally important to global climate change policy, but even many veteran negotiators shy away from the topic because of its perceived complexity. Christina Voigt has brought together a distinguished group of contributors to produce this Research Handbook on the legal issues relating to REDD. Providing an authoritative overview of the subject, it will be the ''go to'' work for practitioners and the public alike. --Daniel Bodansky, Arizona State University
The Research Handbook on REDD+ and International Law is to be commended for its broad-ranging analytical approach in identifying and addressing a multiplicity of questions arising across different areas of international law. This approach is as much needed for the further development and operationalization of climate law, as it is for the understanding of the evolution of international law in general. --Elisa Morgera, Edinburgh University School of Law and University of Eastern Finland
