Promoting Environmental and Social Benefits of REDD+ in Peru Through Spatial Analysis: How Maps Can Support the Achievement of Multiple Policy Goals

This technical document aims to promote the preparations for REDD+ in Peru, by highlighting some of the potential benefits that can be achieved through REDD+ actions, in addition to the primary aim of climate change mitigation. It presents the results of spatial analyses that can assist decision-makers in planning for REDD+ in a way that generates multiple benefits, and explores the possible contributions that REDD+ can make to the achievement of other policy goals such as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the objectives of Peru’s National Climate Change Strategy.
