TLDR
In this article, the authors assessed REDD+ proponent activities to address tenure insecurity in light of actions required for effective and equitable implementation of REDD+, and found that REDD proponents addressed tenure insecurity by demarcating village and forest boundaries and identifying legal right holders, but were limited in their ability to resolve local tenure challenges that were national in origin and scope.About:

Ravindranath,Charles W. Rice,Carmenza Robledo Abad,Anna Romanovskaya,Frank Sperling,Francesco N. Tubiello +17 more
TL;DR: Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) is unique among the sectors considered in this volume, since the mitigation potential is derived from both an enhancement of removals of greenhouse gases (GHG), as well as reduction of emissions through management of land and livestock as discussed by the authors.

Does secure land tenure save forests? A meta-analysis of the relationship between land tenure and tropical deforestation
Brian E. Robinson,Brian E. Robinson,Margaret B. Holland,Margaret B. Holland,Lisa Naughton-Treves +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature that connects forest outcomes and land tenure to better understand broad interactions between tenure form, security and forest change, they find 36 publications that link land cover change to tenure conditions while also controlling for other plausibly confounding variables.

TL;DR: A “benchmark” map of biomass carbon stocks over 2.5 billion ha of forests on three continents, encompassing all tropical forests, for the early 2000s is presented, which will be invaluable for REDD assessments at both project and national scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the evidence on the economic impacts of climate change itself, and explore the economics of stabilizing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, concluding that the benefits of strong, early action on climate change considerably outweigh the costs.
