Abstract
  • REDD+ is a heavily promoted mechanism to mitigate climate change through the carbon market worldwide, however, initial projects presented challenges related to effectiveness, efficiency, and equity (3E criteria) during implementation. In Peru, it has been promoted since 2008 due to high deforestation rates in the tropical forest, with 30 ongoing projects and a national nested approach strategy. Therefore, this study identified the current challenges and co-benefits of REDD+ in the Peruvian Amazon to improve strategy design and adapt or implement efficient policies. A systematic literature review of scientific articles published between 2017 and 2022 was conducted and a case study in Madre de Dios, Peru was analyzed. The analyses agree and show that there are still several challenges at the national level, which individually or simultaneously affect the 3E criteria including lack of land tenure security, poor governance, lack of funds and presence of inequalities. REDD+ in Peru still fails to reduce expected deforestation but provides non-monetary environmental and social co-benefits and partly contributes to climate change mitigation. REDD+ needs to integrate policies, efficient governance, and incentives for sustainable resource management that motivate forest conservation to achieve better results.
