Insights from the Brazilian Amazon: This talk explores the contradictions of market-based Nature-Based Solutions like REDD+ from a political ecology perspective.


In recent years, the IPPC and other influential global environmental and climate policy bodies have promoted Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). An important approach for NBS is Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). This market-based approach aims to create financial incentives for forest and climate protection. The talk will discuss the contradictions of this approach from a political ecology perspective, using the example of the Brazilian Amazon Basin.
