The Congo Basin forest (spanning Republic of Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Republic of Congo) is a vast transboundary natural resource pool indispensable to the national development plans of the region. REDD+ is under negotiation to become part of a new international climate change agreement (UNFCCC, 2011a; UN-REDD Programme, 2011). REDD+ can be framed as a comprehensive mechanism for addressing issues of weak governance, environmental issues, poverty, agriculture, and energy issues.enCONGO BASINCLIMATE CHANGEREDD+INSTITUTIONSAFFORESTATIONBIODIVERSITYCAMEROONDRCCONGOCENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLICSOUTH OF SAHARAGOVERNANCEFORESTRYJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
