This study aims to produce an accessible review of the latest work of major economic, research, academic, and multilateral institutes/organisations working on REDD+, to help inform DFID and wider UK Government policy.

The report captures the following relevant data:

• Organisations working on REDD+ and their current and planned work programmes

• A review of the main messages coming out of each major work area/recent papers

• Identification of the main gaps in the evidence, potential partners for future research and possible ways to institutionalise the sharing of the latest evidence on REDD

A further output of the study is a database containing information on the papers reviewed including title, author, organisation, keywords, and a short abstract.
