The design and implementation of low-emission development plans (LEDPs) and frameworks for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) have become central elements of climate change policy in developing countries.

This paper from the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) explores how models of payment for environmental services (PES) programs could be applied in the context of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).
