Towards ending natural forest loss by 2030: UNFCCC REDD+ and deforestation-free supply chains

The present study is a timely and strategic effort to compare UNFCCC REDD+ and DFSC with regard to a spatial linkage of both concepts, especially in the light of the 2020-2030 timeline on commitments from the public- and the private sector. Besides multiple potential synergies, as for permanence, leakage, and monitoring systems, subsistence driven deforestation could become a blind spot outside the scope of both concepts with negative consequences for affected communities.
