Climate justice, forests, and Indigenous Peoples: toward an alternative to REDD + for the Amazon

This article, published in Springer Nature in July 2024, considers how REDD+ currently works for Indigenous Peoples and how it could work better. It argues that in implementing REDD+ on a project level, the burden of conservation and management tends to fall on marginalized communities, including Indigenous Peoples. The authors present 12 principles that reimagine REDD+ in a justice-oriented way.
