Symposium: REDD-Plus: Beyond the Hype
Details
Note: Yale School of the Environment (YSE) was formerly known as the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies (F&ES). News articles and events posted prior to July 1, 2020, refer to the School's name at that time.
Summary
This event was held as part of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) annual meeting, July 19-23, 2010.
In order to avoid the type of problems that have befallen conservation/development schemes in the past, this symposium has been designed as a forum for critically evaluating the opportunities and obstacles to using REDD-plus for tropical biodiversity conservation. Because REDD-Plus is a multi-faceted mechanism, which unites science, business, policy, and management, this symposium included presentations that explored the potential for REDD-Plus to facilitate biodiversity conservation from a variety of different, though inter-related angles.
