Abstract: Key messages• Results-based payment, REDD+'s innovative feature, has largely gone untested.International funding (both public and private) remains scarce, and demand through carbon markets is lacking.• REDD+ helped forests gain prominence on the international and some national policy agendas.National REDD+ initiatives improved countries' monitoring capacities and understanding of drivers, increased stakeholder involvement, and provided a platform to secure indigenous and community land rights.Local REDD+ initiatives have achieved modest but positive outcomes for forests.Well-being impacts have been limited and mixed, but are more likely to be positive when incentive components are included.• For REDD+ to be effective, forest-based mitigation needs to be incorporated in national development and climate action plans, and mainstreamed across sectors and levels of government.A strong positive narrative on how forests contribute to economic development and climate goals can support this integration.
