Global Comparative Study (GCS) on REDD+: Knowledge for Action to Protect Tropical Forests and Enhance Rights is a multinational-level research project built by the Center for International Forest Research (CIFOR) and partners, supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). Implemented in four countries, Peru, Brazil, DR Congo, and Indonesia, this project includes national policy analysis & dialogue and global comparative analysis. In this project, we are generating knowledge and tools useful for REDD+ decision-making. This project builds on the long-term GCS on the REDD+ project by CIFOR and partners, which has produced information, analysis, and tools to promote effective, efficient, and equitable (3E) outcomes in REDD+ implementation, including secure rights and livelihood for indigenous people and local communities.
In this project, CCSF UI and RCCC UI have collaborated with CIFOR as the research project partner of CIFOR for the Indonesia region. Together with CIFOR, we are co-creating scientific knowledge in various fields regarding the REDD+, from the financial modalities to the benefit-sharing mechanism knowledge. This project also includes the biannual Science-Policy Dialogue workshop, which focuses on becoming the information-sharing and knowledge co-creation platform on the REDD+ benefit-sharing mechanisms to strengthen climate finance and climate mitigation action.
