REDD+: Analysis of Its Components through a Systematic Review of Scientific Literature from Brazil and Indonesia | REDD+: Analyse de Ses Éléments à l'aide D'une Étude en Profondeur de la Littérature Scientifique du Brésil et de l'Indonésie | REDD+: Análisis de Sus Componentes Mediante Una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura Científica Relativa a Brasil e Indonesia

Brazil and Indonesia are two of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases from deforestation and the main beneficiaries of REDD + programs in the world. The REDD+'s structure can be divided into twelve dimensions, identified from a systematic review. These dimensions are defined as Governance, Implementation, Beneficiaries, Land Use, Monitoring, Biodiversity, Financing, Forest Management, Deforestation, Conservation, Safeguard and Opportunity Cost. By identifying and describing the dimensions that make up REDD+, its application can be better planned and executed. After it was introduced in 2005, it took six years before the basic mechanism was established, but even after 10 years of implementation it still needs to be further developed and adjusted. REDD+ is a payments mechanism through environmental services that proposes the reduction of greenhouse gas emission caused by change in use of tropical forest lands. The present study aimed to identify the REDD+ dimensions in tropical forests in the world, approaching a broader discussion about themes by focusing on Brazil and Indonesia. A systematic review of scientific literature relating to Brazil and Indonesia was used as an analysis method. A total of 102 scientific articles with themes related to REDD+ development were selected. Through analysis of the selected articles, REDD+ dimensions with frequent mentions in the scientific literature were identified, such as governance, implementation, beneficiaries, land use, monitoring, biodiversity, financing, forest management, deforestation, conservation, safeguard, and opportunity cost. The analysis identified the existence of political barriers the implementation of REDD+ and recommends dialogue in order to maintain the balance of beneficiaries and the environment. Both beneficiary countries and payers should invest in longer-term and more efficient REDD+ practices, such as long-term programs and more defined criteria for project evaluation.
