Current models examining the possible implications which changes towards a low-carbon economy may reflect for low-income countries include a look at best practices from countries such as Kenya, Cambodia and Nepal, some of which may also prove relevant for the Caribbean context. To this end, ten key measures were identified by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) which could help such countries to remain competitive in a future low-carbon global economy. These ten measures further assisted in examining the Caribbean context and may be seen to sum up the various observations and recommendations already examined within this paper.
This report advocates placing REDD+ into a larger landscape scale planning framework that can, and should, involve multiple sectors (especially those that are driving deforestation, sometimes inadvertently).
This working paper explores some of the drivers and challenges affecting countries’ climate compatible development (CCD) policy processes and their incentives for engaging on this agenda.
