The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential of a range of market and non-market policy options available to developing countries willing to contribute to a global climate change solution by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, forest conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+) and to deliver additional co-benefits. The covered policy options are domestic market-based instruments (MBIs), direct regulation of land clearing, payments for results, and environmental impact assessment.
