Abstract: In 2007 it was announced that Norway would work to mitigate climate change through reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (commonly referred to as REDD+) as part of the development aid budget, and in 2008 “Norway’s International Climate and Forest Initiative†became operational. In a recently published article the argument is made that Norway’s international forest engagement has largely failed. In this response, we clarify how the article and critique is based on serious flaws in the assumptions used and analysis conducted.
