REDD+ is an acronym that stands for "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degration in developing countries, plus supporting the sustainable management of forests and the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks."
It's an umbrella term for a lot of activities, and its working have been misunderstood or actively misrepresented by opportunists, ideologues, and compliant media.
Propoinents have enabled the disinformation by steering clear of the weedier elements of REDD+, the biggest being uncertainty.
In their efforts to tell a "positive" story of REDD+, proponents have set unrealistic expectations for what REDD+ can achieve, leaving them vunerable to attacks from opponents whose modus operandi is to cherry pick
In this series, we aim to demystify REDD+ by telling accurate stories of what it can and can't achieve.
