At the international level, a good outcome for REDD would create the enabling conditions for effective implementation in REDD countries, including: Financial incentives, (Chapter 2); Procedures for setting reference levels (Chapter 3); Methodologies for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV – Chapter 4); and Processes to promote the participation of indig.
