The impacts of REDD plus on the social-ecological resilience of community forests

Reem Hajjar et al.

Summary: REDD+ interventions in community forests have had mixed impacts on social-ecological resilience. While indicators show enhanced potential for local adaptability, such as increased network ties and participation in decision making, there are also limitations due to restrictions on local forest practices and rigidity in rules. Moving forward, reconciling REDD+ goals with the need for forest communities to retain adaptive capacity will be a challenge.
