This analytical report provides information for national-policy makers and international negotiators on what the international climate change architecture needs to deliver to effectively mobilise private finance and investment for forests at the necessary scale. In particular, it addresses the critical question of what policy options, and what type of REDD+ funding mechanism, are most conducive towards effectively financing forest-based climate change mitigation (with a focus on Phase 3 of REDD+ implementation). This analysis can also be useful for financial institutions in understanding the history and current proceedings in the international negotiations on REDD+ funding.
