Identifying where REDD+ financially out-competes oil palm in floodplain landscapes using a fine-scale approach
- Abstract:
-
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) aims to avoid forest conversion to alternative land-uses through financial incentives. Oil-palm has high opportunity costs, which according to current literature questions the financial competitiveness of REDD+ in tropical lowlands.
