      abstract = {This paper discusses strategies to make the global program  for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest  Degradation and Enhancement of Forest Stocks (REDD+) an  effective and equitable part of the post-Kyoto Climate  Change Regime. This work submits that, in order for any  global REDD+ strategy to succeed, it must be transparent in  design and must also provide results-based financing that  is appropriate to different developing country situations.  It is further argued that the current proposals for REDD+  results-based financing either do not offer suitable  incentives for countries with high forest cover and low  historical rates of deforestation (thereby essentially  rewarding poor past performers), or they seek to address  equity concerns in a non-transparent manner that could  exacerbate problems of “tropical hot air” by paying for  artificial achievements.},
