This report examines how biodiversity co-benefits in REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) can be enhanced, both at the design and
implementation level. It discusses potential biodiversity implications of different REDD design options
that have been put forward in the international climate change negotiations and proceeds by examining
how the creation of additional biodiversity-specific incentives could be used to complement a REDD
mechanism, so as to target biodiversity benefits directly.
