This entry defines and describes key aspects of REDD+, characterizes the drivers of forest use and the incentives necessary to change forest use behavior, provides background on how REDD+ has evolved through climate negotiations, describes the implementation of REDD+, and discusses the assessments of early REDD+ efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heidi J.
