Abstract EN
There is growing interest globally in REDD+ initiatives to help mitigate climate change; the Philippines is no exception.
In this paper, we review early REDD+ project experiences in the country.
The guiding document for REDD+ in the Philippines is the National REDD+ Strategy (PNRPS) which was prepared by a multisectoral group of authors.
There are five REDD+ projects that are underway.
The critical factors emerging from these early REDD+ actions are the following: external support, local participation, free prior and informed consent, capacity building, sustainability, national laws and policies, biodiversity conservation, and use of safeguards.
The pioneering projects reviewed here as well as the emerging lessons from them will hopefully provide a firmer basis for future REDD+ actions in the country.
