This side event draws on work in Peru, Mexico, Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Tanzania to present insights on the factors that underpin effective benefit-sharing mechanisms, with a particular focus on land tenure, the actors engaged in REDD+ interventions (private sector or NGOs), and the gender dimension. Careful design of these mechanisms is critical to their application.

Speakers will present a framework that helps countries establish their own benefit-sharing mechanisms.
