Mixing the REDD policy cocktail in the Brazilian Amazon, COP15
December 2009
This Amazon Initiative policy brief published at the COP15 in Copenhagen provides a comparative economic assessment of PES versus command-and-control as REDD policy instruments in the Brazilian Amazon. It concludes that PES is a competitive REDD vehicle especially to reduce small-scale deforestation and should thus be targeted primarily to smallholders. Law enforcement remains the most cost-effective means to provide disincentives for large-scale, predominantly illegal deforestation.
