Epple, C., Thorley, J. (2012) Options for REDD+ action: what are their effects on forests and people? An introduction for stakeholders in Central Sulawesi. UNEP-WCMC, Cambridge, UK.

Putting REDD+ into practice can involve a broad range of actions that change the management of forest and other lands. Depending on what is done and how, these actions can have different effects on the forest environment and the lives of local people. This report identifies some of the advantages and drawbacks of different options. It aims to assist REDD+ decision makers and stakeholders in Indonesia, including district-level governments and local communities, to assess the possible outcomes of their choices and to plan for actions that provide multiple social and environmental benefits.
